    If you read my Portillo's Restaurant Review, you will know I LOVE hot dogs.

    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.

    ingredients for hot dog chili-apple cider vinegar, ketchup, mustard, ground beef, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion, chili powder, celery salt

    What ingredients do you need?

    You need the following ingredients for this Instant Pot Southern hot dog chili:

    • ground beef-You can substitute with ground turkey.
    • onion-Yellow or white onion.
    • ketchup
    • apple cider vinegar
    • brown sugar
    • mustard-I use yellow mustard, but you can add a stone ground mustard.
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • celery salt (find out how to make homemade celery salt)
    • chili powder
    Steps to make Instant Pot hot dog chili

    Steps

    1. Turn on saute setting on Instant Pot.
    2. Saute meat and onion until meat is cooked. (I use the meat grinder tool while I saute it to grind the meat into small pieces.)
    3. Turn off Instant Pot. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
    4. Cook on Manual, High Pressure for 10 minutes.
    5. Fast release when done.

    Can you freeze it?

    The hotdog chili freezes well also. I will make a big batch and freeze half for later use.

    Can you substitute ground turkey for beef?

    If you want to make this recipe a little healthier, you can use ground turkey in place of the beef.

    The sauce will flavor the turkey and you will not be able to taste much of a difference.

    Tip

    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.
