Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American, Keto
kcal: Approximately 350 kcal per serving
Ingredients:
- 4 keto-friendly hot dog sausages (all-beef or turkey, no sugar added)
- 4 low-carb hot dog buns (or use lettuce wraps for a carb-free option)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and fully cooked.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and tomato paste, combining them with the cooked beef.
- Season the chili with chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken.
- While the chili simmers, grill or cook the hot dog sausages until they are fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Once the chili is ready and thickened, remove it from the heat.
- Assemble the Keto Chili Cheese Dogs by placing each cooked hot dog sausage in a low-carb hot dog bun (or lettuce wrap if using).
- Spoon a generous amount of the zesty chili over each hot dog.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chili on each hot dog.
- Optional: Place the assembled hot dogs in the oven or under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
- Garnish the Keto Chili Cheese Dogs with freshly chopped cilantro or green onions for added freshness and flavor.
Note: Feel free to customize your chili cheese dogs by adding keto-friendly toppings like diced jalapeños or avocado slices.
