Chili Dog

Welcome back! 
Next up in our line of homemade fast food is a chili dog! This is mainly a recipe for the chili part because the hot dog is, well, just a normal hot dog. This chili can be used for a variety of other things, such as in wraps or topped on fries. I honestly think that this recipe is rather true to the original thing, like something you would get at Sonic.

Chili Dog


Ingredients:

Chili:
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Assembly:
  • Hot dogs
  • Hot dog buns
  • Other toppings including, but not limited to:
    • Red onion, diced
    • Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

  1. Saute the onions until soft. Then, add the garlic.
  2. Add in the ground beef and stir until the color changes.
  3. Throw in the spices. Now, lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Once ready, assemble the hot dog and top with chili and whatever other toppings you like.
And there you go! This is really a great recipe for cookouts too. As you can see, we paired it with fresh corn on a cob just like a real outdoor cookout, though just in our house! Now, you too can bring a barbecue to your own house, especially with our other recipe for homemade burgers.

Habanero Salsa

Welcome back!  Today, we have a fiery Habanero Salsa! Salsa is deceptively easy to make - just chop up a few ingredients and put it through a food processor - and if you do it yourself, you're able to get it to exactly the right consistency and flavor that you want. In this case, we were able to concoct a devilishly spicy salsa with a fresh habanero. Plus, this is so much fresher than the store-bought variety of salsa! Habanero Salsa Ingredients: 3 medium tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes), deseeded 1/4 small red onion 1 jalapeno 1 habanero Cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice Pinch of salt Directions: Chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and habanero into rough chunks - not diced. Cut the cilantro so that there aren't any long stems. Add the chopped ingredients into a food processor along with the lime juice and salt. Pulse until the desired consistency is reached. This salsa is great by itself but it also is an amazing way to add an extra kick to guacamole or some Brisket Queso, and of ...
