CINCINNATI CHILI DOGS

Native Buckeyes pledge allegiance to this dog. Pile on the all-beef chili, heady with chocolate, cinnamon, and other spices, with abandon. The finishing touches are fundamental: yellow mustard, diced sweet onion, and lots of shredded cheddar cheese. Unless you're a pro at eating one, you may want to grab a knife and fork -- or a bib.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped white onion (from 1 onion), plus more for serving
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 3 cloves)
1 pound 85 percent-lean ground beef, preferably grass-fed
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 can (8 ounces) low-sodium tomato sauce
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
6 all-beef franks
6 long potato rolls, such as Martin's, split
Yellow mustard, for serving
4 ounces finely shredded sharp cheddar (2 cups), for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds more. Add ground beef and season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, breaking into bite-size pieces and stirring occasionally, until meat is browned in places and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cocoa, cinnamon, and allspice; cook 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce, 1 cup water, vinegar, Worcestershire, and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and darkened slightly, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add franks, reduce heat to low, and simmer until plump and hot, about 5 minutes. Drain franks and place in rolls. Top each with chili, sprinkle with onion, drizzle with mustard, and top with cheese. Serve immediately.

My in-laws are from Ohio, so we have Cincinnati chili at many of our family gatherings. I spiced up this family classic with cinnamon and cocoa powder and then ladled it over hot dogs. It's perfect for game day, tailgates and potlucks. -Jennifer Gilbert, Brighton, Michigan

CINCINNATI CHILI DOGS

My husband grew up in southern Ohio where Cinc'y Chili reigns supreme! I first became acquainted with it some 16 years ago on on honeymoon. YUM. The rest is history. Whenever we are visiting family and friends we stop for a bowl & dog, whether we are hungry or not. Authentic Cinc'y dogs are 100% pork although here in Chicago we have been known to use 100% beef, they both work but no other substitutes are quite the same. For the full on experience, all the other ingredients are NOT optional! :D We make our own Cinc'y chili at home using the Recipe #249986. Cook time does not include making the chili ahead of time (4 hours minimum). Cook & prep is enough time to cook & assemble the dogs. Enjoy!

1/4 cup yellow mustard, liberally squirt it on the bun, no substitutes

Steps:

  • Make Recipe#249986, this will take several hours to reduce down to the proper consistency.

  • Open up your hotdog bun, squirt with yellow mustard, add the hotdog, top with Chili, onions & cheese!
  • Grab a bunch of napkins cuz this gets messy! Enjoy!
  • You will have plenty of Chili leftover to enjoy over spaghetti noodles another day or serve both!
