Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

ADULT STEP: Set a nice big pot on the stove top and frying pan right beside it. Turn heat to medium and medium-high.  

GET THE KIDS INVOLVED: Add the chopped onions, ground beef, and bell peppers to the big pot. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the seasonings, tomato sauce, stock and beans and stir gently with a wooden spoon. Simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes. That’s it! All this simmering helps the chili to taste amazing! 

ADULT STEP: Halve the hot dogs lengthwise, set a frying pan on the stove top over medium-high heat. 

GET THE KIDS INVOLVED: Cook the hot dogs in the frying pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the hot dog buns, top with chili, and add toppings.
