Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground beef — Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option. If desired, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter alternative.
- Tomato sauce — Opt for a low-sodium tomato sauce to control the salt content of the dish.
- Hot dog buns — Toast the buns on the grill for a few seconds to add a slight crispiness to the texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the chili sauce.
- Customize your toppings by adding shredded cheese, pickles, or jalapeños.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper.
- Serve with a side of crispy french fries or coleslaw for a complete meal.
- Make the chili sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for quick and easy assembly.
