Tastes Like Yocco's Hog Dog With Chili Sauce

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

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Yields: 3 1/2 cups

Ingredients

• 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.
