Homemade Sloppy Joes or Hot Dog Chili

Submitted by Nasseh

"I never really liked store bought sloppy joes because of the onions. So when I was teenager I came up with my own version without them. Over the years I have fiddled with the recipe to make it even more delicious. My dad uses it as his hot dog chili. Each to their own."

 

• Ready In: 20mins

• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

I doubled this recipe for a church small group gathering. To save a little time & effort, I used 2 packets of mild chili seasoning. With the Bold Y Spicy A-1 I had on hand, the spice had just enough kick. I simmered it longer, so I did end up having to add a little more water.

I used only 1 teaspoon of chili powder in case my son would find it too spicy. I omitted the salt. I loved the taste. It was perfect. And it needed only 5 minutes to have it spicy enough. I ate mine with sharp cheddar cheese. Thanks Nasseh :) Made for Ramadan tag game

What a great versatile recipe this is. Both DS and DH opted to eat it both ways. I fried up some HebrewNational hot-dogs and they topped a few and then ate some of just the meat plain inside a hotdog bun. Great flavor combinations too:-) Love the added A-1 sauce. Made for ZaarStars.
