For the Chili

1 pound ground beef 🍖
1 small onion, finely chopped 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce 🍅
2 tablespoons tomato paste 🍅
1 cup beef broth 🍲
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder 🌶️
1/2 teaspoon cumin 🌿
1/2 teaspoon paprika 🌶️
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂

For the Coneys

8 hot dogs (beef or your favorite kind) 🌭
8 hot dog buns (soft and slightly toasted) 🥖
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
1/2 cup chopped onions 🧅 (optional for topping)
1 tablespoon butter (for toasting buns) 🧈

Instructions 👨‍🍳

Step 1: Make the Chili 🍲

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.
Stir in the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. 🧄
Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir until everything is combined.
Season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
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 🌭

While the chili simmers, heat a grill, skillet, or griddle over medium heat.
Cook the hot dogs for about 5-6 minutes, turning them frequently until they are browned and heated through. 🌭
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 🧀🌭

Place the cooked hot dogs in the toasted buns.
Spoon a generous amount of the chili over each hot dog. 🍲
Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top. 🧀
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!
