8 Ball Park(R) Brand Franks
8 Ball Park(R) Hot Dog Buns
Yellow mustard
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
Chili:
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 sweet yellow onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic granules
2 teaspoons paprika
salt and pepper to taste

1
To make chili, brown ground beef in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
2
Add onion and red bell pepper, stirring well. Add tomato sauce and seasonings, stirring well.
3
Allow mixture to bubble for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to simmer and cook at least 30 minutes.
4
To make hot dogs, cook on your grill or on a grill pan until just seared on the outside.
5
Meanwhile, toast buns in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes, taking care not to brown.
6
Swipe each bun with mustard, top with chili as desired, followed by grated cheese, onion and, if you're brave, jalapenos.
7
If you'd like the cheese all melty, place chili dogs on a foil-lined cookie sheet and run under a hot broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese bubbles.
