Hot dog Chili

By exdircomp

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 2 cups chopped yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, broken in pieces, with juices
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 cups water

Preparation

Step 1

Make the chili: Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the meat and stir with a long-handled wooden spoon to break up the pieces. Cook, stirring, until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the squeezed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and water to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Keep chili warm while you assemble the hot dogs.
