HOT DOG CHILI RECIPE

Make this hot dog chili in the slow cooker, a day ahead so it's ready to heat and serve at party time.

• 1 lb TF ground beef
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 15 oz. tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp paprika

Instructions:

DO NOT pre-cook beef. Combine all ingredients together in a slow cooker (using your hands works best). Cook on high for 2 hours, then low for 2 more hours then have a party and make some chili dogs! Don't forget the cheese, raw onion and jalapeno slices.
