- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Heat olive olive in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 7-9 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
- Add all dry spices and beef and cook until beef is browned and no longer pink, breaking meat up with a spoon.
- Reduce heat to medium and add beef stock, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring often. Can be made a day or two in advance and stored in refrigerator.
- Top your hot dogs with some of the chili and some chopped onions and shredded cheese, if desired.
Notes
You can make the chili the day before the BBQ, so the day of you can just heat it up as the hot dogs are grillin'.
Don't forget to toast your buns, because that always makes a big difference in my opinion. And don't be stingy with the chili and cheese. Go big or go home!
