Instructions 👨‍🍳

Step 1: Make the Chili 🍲

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
2. Stir in the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. 🧄
3. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir until everything is combined.
4. Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 2: Cook the Hot Dogs 🌭

1. While the chili simmers, heat a grill, skillet, or griddle over medium heat.
2. Cook the hot dogs for about 5-6 minutes, turning them frequently until they are browned and heated through. 🌭
3. Toast the buns by brushing the insides lightly with butter and placing them on the griddle for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. 🧈

Step 3: Assemble the Chili Cheese Coneys 🧀🌭

1. Place the cooked hot dogs in the toasted buns.
2. Spoon a generous amount of the chili over each hot dog. 🍲
3. Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top. 🧀
4. Top with finely chopped onions if desired.

Step 4: Melt the Cheese (Optional) 🔥

For that irresistible gooey cheese finish:

• Place the assembled hot dogs under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts. Keep a close eye to avoid burning!
