Chili dog: a hot dog with ground beef

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, chopped
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 450 g of ground beef
• 2.5 cups ketchup
• 1 teaspoon chili seasoning
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 4 beef sausages
• 4 hot dog buns
• 1/2 cup grated Cheddar

Preparation:

1. Quick chili sauce. Place a skillet over medium heat and add two turns of vegetable oil. Heat the oil and add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up any lumps with the back of a spatula, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the ketchup. chili seasoning and mustard, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
2. Prepare the grill while the chili sauce cooks. Preheat a charcoal grill to high heat, or place a grill pan over two burners of a gas grill. Layer a paper towel several times, blot with oil, and quickly wipe the hot grill grates to create a nonstick surface.
3. Meanwhile, boil the sausages. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the sausages. Remove them from the water and pat dry. Grill them just long enough to leave grill marks (this will impart a grilled flavor).
4. Brush the inside of the buns with vegetable oil, place the outside of the buns on the grill and grill until charred and heated through.
5. Fill each bun with sausage, chili, and cheddar. Serve.
