HOT DOG CHILI RECIPE WITH BROWN SUGAR RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Leaving them attached, place the 8 hot dog buns in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33-cm) baking dish. Cut a rectangle in each hot dog bun, making sure to stay 1 centimeter from the edges. Push down on the bread cut-out to compact it tightly into the bottom of each bun, making sure to press down on the bottom edges as well. This will help create a larger space for the fillings and reduce mess.
• Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then brush the buns and their hollowed insides with the garlic butter. Bake for 5 minutes to toast the buns as well as help the sides of the buns firm up so they don’t collapse under the weight of the fillings.
• Place a slice of cheddar cheese inside each bun, then spoon a bit of chili inside each one. Slide a hot dog snugly on top of the chili in each bun, then top with more chili.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the chili has started to brown. Top with fresh parsley, then slice the hot dog boats along their connected seams to serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place a large shallow skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add ground beef and cook until no pink is left. Add the sliced hot dogs and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until brown. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook until softened, another 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add the tomato paste, spices, salt and pepper and cook for about 30 seconds to develop their flavors. Stir in the broth, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, tomato sauce and sugar and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until the chili has thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F.Remove from the heat and then carefully place the tater tots on top of the chili, in a single layer. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the tots. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with the cheese, diced onion and scallions right before serving.
