For most people, hot dog chili usually comes in a can. I remember so often standing in the grocery store aisle looking at the cans and deciding on beans or no beans. There are so many reasons to make your own chili, from the taste being so much better to the amount of sodium being so high in the cans . You can put this on hot dogs, fries, baked potatoes, chips or just eat it in a bowl if that is how you like it. Let us know how you like it!

This sounds like a great recipe and the picture looks delicious. I plan on making it this weekend. However the recipe doesn't say how much Worcestershire sauce to use.Reply
