I haven't been to the roast grill in years. I always remember then having an outstanding hot dog. That said, here is the way I make a hot dog, at home;
Standard buns from anywhere
Sabrett hot dogs
Pattersons chili
Mustard and Ketchup
I use an iron pan with a little butter spray, cook the hot dogs till they are almost black, heat the pattersons chili and add honey, to taste. Once hot dogs are cooked, place a streak of mustard and ketchup, in the bun, put the hot dog in on top of the condiments, then add the chili!!!
That's a great Hot Dog!!!
I just brown a pound of hamburger with salt and pepper. Drain much of the grease, add ketchup, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, a skeet of Texas Pete, a little brown sugar and about 3/4 cup water. Let it simmer down. Then I often add either a little instant mashed potato powder (Idahoan buttery my fav) or corn starch as a viscosity index improver so the chili isn't so watery. The instant taters give the chili a background rich tint to the flavor. Corn starch continues to thicken the longer the batch is heated. I'll post ENCBBQstyleWolf's chili recipe below. It takes about an hour to make, but is pretty good.
I'll have to try that chili. Have you ever added honey to your chili?
