- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (10-ounce) can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite hot dogs, topped with yellow mustard and onions (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
