Prep time: 35 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 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 Tbsp. adobo sauce; 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste; 1/2 c. dark lager; 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce; 1/2 c. beef broth; 1 tbsp. packed dark brown sugar; Olive oil, for the skillet; 8 all-beef hot dogs; 8 potato hot dog buns; 2 c. grated cheddar cheese; Finely chopped white onion, for topping

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.

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.

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.

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.
