Ingredients

1 cup barbecue sauce
1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chili seasoning mix
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Vegetable oil, for brushing
8 all-beef hot dogs
8 hot dog buns
1/2 medium white onion, chopped

Steps:

Make the chili: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the barbecue sauce, kidney beans, black beans, chili seasoning, brown sugar and mustard. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, make the hot dogs: Set up a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium heat. When ready to start cooking, brush the grates with vegetable oil. Place the hot dogs on the hot oiled grill and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes or until heated through. Toast the buns on the grill, if desired. Put the hot dogs in the buns and top with the chili. Serve hot topped with the chopped onion.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

8 Ball Park® Brand Franks
8 Ball Park® Hot Dog Buns
Yellow mustard
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ sweet yellow onion, chopped
½ red bell pepper, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic granules
2 teaspoons paprika
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

To make chili, brown ground beef in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
Add onion and red bell pepper, stirring well. Add tomato sauce and seasonings, stirring well.
Allow mixture to bubble for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to simmer and cook at least 30 minutes.
To make hot dogs, cook on your grill or on a grill pan until just seared on the outside.
Meanwhile, toast buns in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes, taking care not to brown.
Swipe each bun with mustard, top with chili as desired, followed by grated cheese, onion and, if you're brave, jalapenos.
If you'd like the cheese all melty, place chili dogs on a foil-lined cookie sheet and run under a hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese bubbles.
