Arahan

Heat the grill for the hot dogs. You can cook these to your liking -- I love mine charred.

While the grill is heating, brown the ground beef in a large pan. Add all the seasonings to the ground beef and pour in the broth. Turn it over in the skillet a few times to coat the meat. You also want to break the beef up as much as possible. Add the tomatoes, reduce the heat to medium, and let is simmer while you make everything else, stirring occasionally.

In a large bowl toss together the cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion.

In a smaller bowl whisk together the mayo, cider vinegar, canola oil, and sugar until smooth. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.

To assemble the hot dogs place each grilled hot dog in a bun, top with chili, then slaw, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup chopped onions. Add ketchup and mustard as you like.

Nota

If I'm gonna eat a hot dog, I spring for the good ones. They cost a little more but better quality equals better taste!

You can use a package of chili seasoning in place of all the seasonings and spices listed here. I always have everything on hand to make my own, but if you have to go out and buy the items listed, it will be much more cost effective to grab a chili packet and go.

Short cut!!! You can use a prepared bag of slaw mix (the cabbage and carrot mixture) to save time
