Chili dog question

[bayoutider]

Does anyone have a really good recipe for chili to put on hot dogs? I used to have one that I think came on the box a bottle of Watkins Pure Vanilla but can't find it.

 

[BamaArrived2006]

Well my family's chili is about as simple as it gets.

Enough Cooked Ground Beef To Feed A Small Army
As Much Tomato Juice To Make The Juice To Beef Ratio 2:1
Half An Onion
And Chilli Powder, Garlic Powder, And Ground Red Pepper To Taste

(And You Can Add Beans, Or Tomatoes If Wanted)

:biga2:

Well, I have just about given up. No, I am not going to open a can LOL. Guess I will make something similar to taco filling with a little onion, peppers and tomato in it. I like my hot dog chili thick and meaty. Maybe I can go to one of the famous dog shacks here and buy a quart of theirs, now there is an idea.

I sent Emeril an email tonight and ask him for a hot dog chili recipe, please get some new material and stop that dreadful humming.

 

[bayoutider]

I should have sent my hot dog chili request to Bobby Flay but it would probably have corn and whole pablano peppers in it. And, Jackie would tell me what wine goes with hot dogs. Now that would be interesting.

 

[TideBeliever]

1/2 - cup chopped onions
2 – tablespoons butter
2 - pounds ground chuck
1-1/2 - teaspoon chili powder
1 - teaspoon paprika
1/4 – teaspoon crushed red peppers
1/2 - teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 - teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 - teaspoon pepper

In a dutch oven, add butter and melt. Saute the onions in the butter until clear. Remove the onions and set aside.

Add the ground beef to the dutch oven and brown. When the ground beef is brown, add back in the onions and cook together for 5 minutes.

Next, add the chili powder, paprika, crushed red pepper, garlic salt, kosher salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 hours. Stir frequently.
Serve over hot dogs.

 

[ddsmit]

1 tablespoon margarine
2 cups onion
2 1/2 cups water
3 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp curry powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tsp worcestershire
1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce

Brown onion in margarine until tender, add ground beef breaking up with a fork. Add remaining ingredients, cover and simmer one hour. If sauce is too thin cook uncovered until it thickens.

Bayou speaking of Watkins products, do you remember "Watkins Linament" or am I the only one old enough? My grandmother would put some sugar in a glass and put a few drops of linament on it and finish filling the glass with water. I loved it! I only got the stuff when I was feeling bad.
In later years I read the label, there was plenty of alcohol in it. No wonder I liked it.

Make mine a double!

Oh yes, I remember the linament. I also remember castor oil being the remedy to cure everything from the common cold to cancer. About the only thing I get from Watkins any longer is their pure Vanilla extract. I am just about out and will probably have to order some online.

BTW, thanks for the chili dog recipe.

Good golly miss molly. Watkins Linament and castor oil was a way of life in my earlier years. My mother believed in both and we use to have a Watkins traveling salesman come around to the houses and sell their products. Castor oil was given to us kids mostly in the winter to work all the bugs out of your system if you know what I mean.

How about turpentine? Mother use to put sugar on a teaspoon of turpentine and makes us take that to keep us for worms. It's a wonder we didn't die from all of this, but we were healthier then than we are now.

Y'all just brought back some old memories.

CnW, I hated castor oil so much my mother mixed it with tomato juice. It was many years later before I tasted tomato juice again.
By the way, I never gave my kids castor oil. They don't even know what it tastes like. Not a bad thing.

ddsmit, mine was mixed with OJ and it was a long, long time before I could drink it. Sometimes it was given straight and I would usually vomit.

 

[bayoutider]

My family was cruel and unreasonable We all had to take our castor oil and coal oil straight up like a good shot of moonshine. Guess they felt a chaser was for girly-men.

I don't ever remember having any worms, but we didn't get too close to open fires either.

Gosh, I remember them pouring coal oil on a cut or when you would step on a nail and we had many cuts and stepped on plenty of nails because we usually went barefoot from May-September. I've also had coal oil with a little sugar on it. Why are we still living?

A&W Chili Dog Sauce

2 cups finely chopped onion
3 pounds ground beef
1 cup vinegar
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons celery seed
1 (6-oz.) can tomato puree
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon pepper


Saute onion and brown the hamburger meat. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, stirring often, until desired consistency. (The simmering step can also be done in a crock pot on low.)

 

[bayoutider]

Now I have to decide which recipe I should try first.

OK, we have a winner. Anything that comes from a Pool Hall and goes on a hot dog has to be good

 

[bayoutider]

This Aikins Pool Hall chili has an OK taste if you like wimpy chili but it has no heat. I added a can of rotel tomato, more chili powder and a bit of ground ancho chili pepper.

Took some out for chili dogs then added red kidney beans to the rest.

I may be escorted out of this forum for saying this, BUT...I love chili/slaw dogs, so I just go to Sneaky Pete's and buy a couple of 'em, and have never asked them for a recipe.

I have also been known to make the critters at home but I just open a can of Hormel or Armour chili w/beans and buy some slaw at Publix, and have a ball..

Sorry I'm so unsophisticated - hehehe!!!

About the castor oil - yuck. You guys are making me sick!!! My mom never made us take the stuff, but my best friend's mom gave me a castor oil capsule one day, but when I spit it out on her highly polished hardwood floor, she never tried it again - lol!

 

[Brtraker]

Castor oil, what a bad memory. My mom gave it to me in grapefruit juice and it was thirty years before I could drink grapefruit juice again.

Speaking of the old remedies, Do any of you OFCs remember Rosebud and Cloverine salve?

Speaking of Salves and ointments, what about Cumerandine Ointment? Do they still make that stuff? If we had anything externally wrong with us from a scratch to a broken bone, we got that stuff rubbed on us. It would have probably cured leprosy.
