Yield

Serves: 8-10

Preparation

Make the chili sauce: In a stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the beef (do not brown first), onion, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic salt and 2 cups (480 ml) water. Stir until combined then add the bay leaves. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 2 hours.

Stir in the vinegar and simmer for 30 minutes longer.


Place your hot dogs on buns and top with chili sauce, yellow mustard and coleslaw.

(This makes a good amount of chili, so plan on leftovers or freezing the leftovers if you don’t have a big group.)
