How to Make Hot Dog Chili Southern Style

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 60 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor. Stir occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the chili is too thick, add a little more broth.
  7. Serve hot over your favorite hot dogs. Top with coleslaw and chopped onions for the full Southern experience!
