Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20
  • 1 white onion chopped
  • 12 ounces beer divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven or deep saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, browning and breaking up as it cooks.
  • Drain excess fat and return to the pot. Add the onion, continuing to saute for 2-3 minutes or until onions start to soften. Add the garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with a splash of the beer, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Stir in the chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, allspice, mustard, pepper, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne. Allow to saute until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, remaining beer and water, stirring until all combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Spoon over hot dogs and top with shredded cheddar cheese and chives.
