My Mom’s Hot Dog Slaw
Perhaps the best part of a hot dog is what you top it with. This slaw goes perfect on a hot dog with some chili and also goes great with fried seafood.
I gleaned this recipe from my back door neighbor, Linda Johnson, and she had it passed to her from her Dad. This is a spicier chili than Kyle’s Mom’s.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds freshly ground round, grass fed preferred
- 1 cup chopped onion, about 1 medium
- 1 16-ounce can tomato paste
- 1¾ cups water
- 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
Place a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and no pink remains, about 10 minutes, breaking up the clumps as it cooks. Drain the fat and return the beef to the pan.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Let the mixture come to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 1½ hours stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes the consistency you desire. You can certainly add more water as needed while it’s cooking if you think the mixture is getting too dry. Serve hot or at room temperature, and freeze any leftovers.
Serves a bunch and freezes well
