This recipe for hot dog chili from Southern Food Junkie is the best one you will find! The texture is spot-on for topping hot dogs or sausage dogs, and I like to call it a chili sauce because it's a bit thinner than your traditional chili. It's a breeze to whip up, and here's a pro tip: it tastes even better if you make it the day before, let it chill in the fridge overnight, and then reheat it when you're ready to dig in.
