Help with a Chili Dog supper ...

for a church group. 25 generous servings. Need a good recipe for the chili to serve on the all-beef Kosher hot dogs. No beans, of course. Can anyone help? Appreciate it, Thanks, Jesse

Jesse, Depending on where you live, you should get a product called Ray's Coney hot dog sauce. Put it on a dog with minced onion and brown or dijon mustard. FANTASTIC. I think you can get it in #10 cans. Just a thought. www.rayschilli.com

Thanks Mofo. I habe bookmarked Rays to try in the future, however I don't have that much time. Does this create a moving 'smile'?

Here is my favorite chili dog recipe. It is a little on the sweet and tangy side but you can reduce the amount of sugar if you desire.

5 LBs. hambuger
3 LBS. onions, chopped
2 ea. fresh jalapenos, seeded and minced
2 T. cumin
8 T. chili powder
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2-3/4 cup brown sugar
couple splashed worchestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups water
touch of cinnamon (1/4 teaspoon or less)
4-8 splashes of tabasco (depending on the heat level you desire)

1. Brown the buger with the onions and jalapenos.
2. Drain the fat.
3. Add all the other ingredients and cook until nice and thick. 30-45 minutes at a low simmer. Stirring constantly to avoid burning on the bottom. (The water can be ommitted, but I like to use it so that the chili can cook for a good long time, without burning or getting too thick, to help all the flavors meld nicely).
4. Season with salt and pepper and check for balance, adding more sugar or vinegar to suit your own tastes. Also if you like it spicier, than add some cayenne or more hot sauce.

Thanks, Pete. Another good recipe!!

We are having the Chili Dog supper later. Snow here. I tried a small recipe today and it was great!! Thanks.
