KY. HOT DOG CHILI

Around in our area we have small stores that sells hot dogs and believe me they are so good. If you like to make your chili then this recipe is the one to make.  Nothing beats a hot dog with Merita buns, steamed. How do you do this. We boil our hot dogs on the stove. So when the hot dogs are boiling don't put to much water in them, when they are about done take your colandar or large strainer both are the same lol and put on top of the kettle let it go down in the top as much as it can but not in the water as it will make them soggy. Put the buns in and put a plate on top of it. Watch tho when taking them out and don't get burned as the steam is hot, or just take the wire tap off of the bun pack and put in the mirowave and let get warm. Me tho I love the steamed buns that is what brings out the flavor in them.

3 Lbs. Ground Beef or Chuck
8 Tablespoons Mexene Chili Powder, only use this kind
1 Teaspoon Salt or more to your taste
1 Tablespoon Pepper or more to your taste

In a large kettle put enough water to cover the top of your ground beef or chuck if about half kettle full. Take and break up the beef and drop into the water. Use your hands to do this it will make like a raw beef gravey. Make sure the beef is in tiny pieces. Next wash the raw beef off of your hands before handling anything else. When done add the seasonings. Bring to a boil and let cook for around a 1 hour. Watch and don't let the water run dry. Take a ladle or large spoon and take off the grease except for a little bit. Spoon over your hot dog.Don't get a lot of the juice out tho as it will make the chili to runny. The juice is what makes the flavor. Garnish with onions. I don't like ketchup and pickle relish on top of this hot dog. They are so good and this recipe has been around for years and years. I ate these when I was in high school at a small store who used this type of recipe for their hot dogs in Harlan, Ky.
