Well someone thinks so. This is an adaptation, not a secret recipe.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 3 1/2 cups

Chili

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
• cold water
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 cups water

Assembly

• hot dog, grilled
• hot dog bun, steamed
• plain yellow mustard
• chopped onion

Directions:

1. Make the chili--soak ground beef in cold water for 30 minutes and drain; this ensures that the beef will remain free of lumps and cook up into the proper consistency typical of Coney- and Texas-style sauces.
2. Place drained beef in a medium saucepan; add onion and spices, and mix well.
3. Stir in the 2 cups water and place over medium heat.
4. Cook the chili, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until it thickens.
5. The chili may be frozen for up to 3 months.
6. Assembly: place hot dogs in buns and top with mustard, chili, and onion; serve immediately.
