Hot Dog Chili

I love a good hot dog with really good chili.  Canned chili will not give you the delicious, wonderful taste that goes on a good hotdog.  This recipe is easy and can easily be frozen.  You can freeze it in an ice cube tray, with one cube being just about enough for one hot dog.  Once frozen, just remove from tray and place in container.  This recipe can easily be doubled.

Ingredients:

1 lb. hamburger (You want to use ground chuck or ground round - anything that is more fatty will give you a very greasy chili)

1 can tomato soup

3/4 cup ketchup

1-2 Tbls dried minced onions

1-2 tsp chili powder (you can add more depending on your taste and amount of heat you like)

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a pot and mix well.  Turn heat to medium and cook for 45 minutes to one hour or until thickened and all meat is cooked.  When you check with thermometer, you want to have a temperature of at least 165 degrees.  Stir often to make sure it is not sticking.  If it begins to bubble, just turn down the temperature a little bit.

This is so easy and so tasty, you will never by the packaged stuff again!!  When I make chili, I usually make it in the crock pot but you can use a pot on the stove, and it turns out just wonderful.  One batch makes 2 - 3 recipes of chili.
