CINCINNATI CHILI DOGS

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

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.

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

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.

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!

cincinnati chili, Empress - Cincinnati Chili
12 all pork hot dogs, all beef can be used, simmered NOT grilled
12 soft hotdog plain buns, do not get crazy here and use poppy seed buns, it's simply not acceptable
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
2 cups yellow onions, fine shop
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.
  • Dice the onions and grate the finely grate cheddar cheese. TIP: place the cheese in the freezer for 15 minutes before grating and it will be easier to work with.
  • Gently simmer the hotdogs until warmed through and hot, do not boil them to death! They just have to be heated through.
  • 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!
