Hot dog sauce

GROUND BEEF – Use a lean cut of beef for the best flavor and the least amount of grease. I always use sirloin (93/7%).

TOMATO SAUCE – Make sure you grab sauce and not paste.

KETCHUP & MUSTARD – Use your favorites but these add great flavor to the chili.

WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE – Worcestershire sauce is a bit sour, sweet, and spicy at the same time. If you don’t have any, you could sub balsamic vinegar.

CHILI POWDER – You’ll add chili powder, along with salt and pepper, to give a little kick and season the chili.

ONION– You can use minced onion or onion powder.

How to make Crockpot Hot Dog Chili

STEP ONE – BROWN THE MEAT: Over medium heat, brown the ground beef with water in a large skillet, making sure to break the meat up into small pieces (unless you want chunky chili).

STEP TWO – MAKE THE CHILI: Add the cooked beef to the bottom of the slow cooker, top with all additional ingredients, and stir until combined.

STEP THREE – SLOW COOK: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours.

STEP FOUR – SERVE: Once the chili is done, you can spoon it over hot dogs, fries, or even a burger. Top with diced onions, shredded cheese, diced jalapenos, and/or more ketchup and mustard.
