Information
A traditional chili and hotdog recipe that was translated from my father’s interpretation of his grandmother’s recipe. Its contents leading to a hearty chili that contains hotdogs. Although, it has been shown in the past that modifications must be made to accommodate incorrect pot selection.
This is a single pot dish that requires a bit of time, but overall, minimal preparation in comparison.

A family recipe, though it is pretty typical.
Ingredients
Main:
- 2 pounds: Ground beef
- 60 ounces: Tomato sauce
- 46.2 ounces: Tomato soup
- 60 ounces: Kidney beans
- 1 pound: Hot dogs
- 3: Onions, medium sized, diced.
- 4: Green bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cups: Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon: White pepper
- 1 tablespoon: Salt
Ingredient Considerations:
- For thicker chili, use more tomato sauce and less tomato soup.
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat set to high, brown the ground beef.
- After the meat is browned, stir in onions. Then, after the onions are thoroughly mixed, mix in chili powder, white pepper, and salt.
- Once all components within the pot are thoroughly mixed, add the tomato sauce and the tomato soup.
- Bring pot to a bubble, adjusting the pot heat appropriately, then add bell peppers and kidney beans. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir thoroughly.
- When all components of the chili are mixed, mix in hotdogs until they are distributed more or less evenly throughout the chili.
- Add the bay leaves, spaced evenly, on the surface of the chili. Do not stir.
- Adjust the pot heat until the chili simmers, on the lower end of simmering. Cover chili and simmer for an extended period (suggested time ranges between 45 minutes to 1 hour).
