If you read my Portillo’s Restaurant Review, you will know I LOVE hot dogs. When I go to different butcher shops, I will pick up a package of their homemade hot dogs to try out. From the store, I can’t resist a good Nathan’s, Sahlen’s or Sabretts dog.
When it comes to a good old-fashioned chili and cheese dog, I want my chili homemade. I don’t want that gross stuff out of the can. This recipe is very easy.
I have this great little hamburger grinder tool I got from Pampered Chef that I used to break down the meat. You don’t have to use one, but I recommend it because that is what grinds the meat into tiny pieces. This Amazon version: Chopstir Nylon Chopper does a great job also and it is a little cheaper.
The chili freezes well also. I will make a big batch and freeze half for later use. Enjoy!

Love this chili recipe! I’ve made it in the InstantPot and in an electric skillet, and it’s turned out great both ways! Thanks for sharing!

I made with ground venison so if you have any very lean meat, it worked perfectly! Easy and delicious, tangy and just the right spicy heat. Will be freezing some for future hot dogs. Pinned the recipe!
