Ingredients

For the chili:

  • 1 Tbsp.

    olive oil

  • 1 lb.

    ground beef 

  • 1

    small yellow onion, finely chopped 

  • 1 Tbsp.

    chili powder 

  • 1 tsp.

    ground cumin 

  • 2

    garlic cloves, finely chopped 

  • 1

    canned chipotle chile pepper, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce 

  • 1/2 tsp.

    kosher salt, plus more to taste 

  • 1/2 cup

    dark lager 

  • 1

    8-ounce can tomato sauce 

  • 1/2 cup

    beef broth 

  • 1 Tbsp.

    packed dark brown sugar 

For the hot dogs:

  • Olive oil, for the skillet 

  • 8

    all-beef hot dogs 

  • 8

    potato hot dog buns 

  • 2 cups

    grated cheddar cheese 

  • Finely chopped white onion, for topping 

Directions

    1. Step 1For the chili: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the yellow onion and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic, chipotle, adobo sauce and salt and stir to combine and coat the meat.
    2. Step 2Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, beef broth and brown sugar and simmer until the chili has thickened but is still slightly saucy, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Keep the chili warm while you cook the hot dogs.
    3. Step 3For the hot dogs: Preheat the broiler. Brush a large cast-iron skillet with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the hot dogs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and heated through, 4 to 5 minutes.
    4. Step 4Put the hot dog buns on a baking sheet and broil until toasted, about 1 minute. Place the hot dogs in the buns and top with the chili and cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Top with chopped white onion.
