CHILI SAUCE FOR HOT DOGS, FRIES AND HAMBURGERS



Chili Sauce for Hot Dogs, Fries and Hamburgers image

This is 1 of my 2 staple chili sauces. This is a great recipe to keep on hand for those chili cravings. I have used this recipe on hot dogs, brats, fries and hamburgers of all varieties; even over spaghetti. This recipe freezes very well and will last in the freezer up to 6 months as long as it is properly sealed in airtight containers with a piece of plastic wrap inside the container sitting directly on top of the sauce mixture. You can reduce the cooking time by cooking over a higher heat - just make sure to watch the chili closely, stirring often, so it does not burn on the bottom.

Time 2h5m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean hamburger
4 cups water
2 (6 ounce) cans chicken stock (can substitute beef stock)
1 (4 ounce) can tomato paste, plain
1 tablespoon dried onion
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • With your clean hands start by adding 4 cups of water, 2 cans of chicken or beef stock and 1 can of regular tomato paste in a large pot. Place the raw hamburger in the liquid and use your hands to break all down so there are no chunks. Add dried onion, chili powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, cinnamon, parsley and cayenne pepper, black pepper and mix well.
  • Simmer uncovered over low heat for 2 hours or until the mixture becomes thick and viscus. Stir often! Taste for seasoning and spice level; add more to suit your taste.
  • Let cool and store in airtight containers in the freezer. This is also great served over spaghetti with extra sharp cheddar and fresh diced onions.

This recipe makes a wonderful chili sauce for hot dogs. Just place a grilled hot dog in a bun and top with chili, grated Cheddar cheese, and diced onions. Serve immediately. If halving this recipe, cover the pot for half of the two hour simmer.

CHILI ESSENTIALS: BURGER/HOTDOG MEAT SAUCE



Chili Essentials: Burger/Hotdog Meat Sauce image

I love my chili sauces, and this one is no exception. It has lots of flavor, and although it takes a few hours, most of that time is spent simmering on the stovetop. Two of the three optional items (ham bone, bourbon) are what really gives this chili its distinct flavor, but more on that later. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE MEATS
16 ounce(s) ground beef, lean (80/20)
8 ounce(s) ground pork loin
4 ounce(s) ground italian sausage, mild or hot, your choice
THE VEGGIES
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped or grated
2 - 3 clove(s) garlic, minced
THE DRY SPICES
2 - 3 tablespoon(s) ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon(s) dehydrated onions
2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1 teaspoon(s) paprika, mild or hot, but not smoked
1 teaspoon(s) mustard powder, i prefer coleman's
1 pinch(es) ground cinnamon
salt, kosher variety, to taste
white pepper, freshly ground, to taste
THE SAUCE INGREDIENTS
8 ounce(s) tomato sauce, 1 can
1 tablespoon(s) hot sauce (i prefer frank's), or to taste
8 ounce(s) beer, something light
2 cup(s) beef stock, not broth
OPTIONAL ITEMS
1 ham bone, more on this later
1 - 2 tablespoon(s) bourbon
1 - 2 pinch(es) cayenne pepper, or crushed pepper flakes, for a bit of heat

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • Grinding Your Own Meats I prefer to grind my own cuts of meat for several reasons: 1. The meat is not compressed into those plastic containers; it is nice and loose. 2. I can choose the type of grind that I require for the recipe. 3. If the grinding machine at the store is not perfectly clean, they might be grinding bacteria into the meat. In addition, if they just finished grinding pork, and they do not perfectly clean the machine, you might be getting a little pork with your beef. I maintain and thoroughly clean my machines, so I know exactly what I am getting, and as to the type of grind, most machines come with three dies (fine, medium, course), and for this recipe, course is the best. FYI: Course grind is sometimes referred to as "chili" grind.
  • My favorite pot for doing chili recipes is a Dutch over; however, any good solid pot will work just fine.
  • Bourbon & Paprika In the recipe ingredients, I said not to use smoked paprika. Do not get me wrong, I like smoked paprika; however, it does tend to take over a recipe. By using sweet or hot paprika, and a bit of bourbon, you get the flavor notes of the paprika, and a lite touch of smoke from the bourbon... best of both worlds.
  • Ham Bone The ham bone helps to create another level of flavor in the chili sauce. A bit of saltiness, and a bit of savory.
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • If you are doing your own grind, do that now, then gently toss the ground meats together, taking care not to compress them.
  • Add the three meats to a pot over medium-low heat,
  • Stir until the meat is cooked through, about 15 - 20 minutes.
  • While the ground meats are slowly cooking, add the dry spices to a bowl and reserve.
  • Add the onions and garlic, to the pot until the onions begin to soften, about 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Add the dry spices.
  • Combine with the ground meats and cook, while stirring for 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Add the tomato sauce and hot sauce, then stir for about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add the beer and beef stock, then stir to combine.
  • If you are using the bourbon, add that now.
  • Add the ham bone (if using) to the pot.
  • Turn the heat down to the lowest simmer you can manage, and let the sauce cook until reduced by half, and begins to thicken, about 90 - 120 minutes.
  • Taste and season while it is simmering.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • This is an excellent sauce for burgers and hotdogs; however, use it anyway you see fit. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
