Things You'll Need:
- Hot dogs
- A mix of hamburger and/or other ground meats
- Food processor or grinder
- Chopped yellow onion
- Hot dog buns (for burgers, too)
- Vegetable oil
- Non-stick frying pan
- Garlic cloves
- Ground cumin
- Cinnamon powder
- Chili powder
-
Step 1
Take one pound of ground hamburger meat and freeze it. After an hour, re-grind the burger in a food processor or in an old-fashioned meat grinder.
-
Step 2
Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan. Add ½ cup of chopped yellow onions and brown the onions. Add the ground meat and brown with the onions.
-
Step 3
Add spices, including 1 minced garlic clove, 3 tablespoons of chili powder, ½ teaspoon of cumin, ½ teaspoon of oregano, and a pinch of cinnamon.
-
Step 4
Add ¼ cup of water and bring the chili to a boil. Simmer the chili for 30-45 minutes, or until the water has evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper (optional).
-
Step 5
For Coney Dogs, put the chili in a separate container, and wipe the pan dry. Put 8 (give or take) hot dogs in the pan and cook until the skin is lightly crisp. Place the dogs in their buns. I eat my Coney Dogs without raw onions on top, and then I add a stripe of classic yellow mustard on top of the chili.

on 12/11/2009 ok, first off you can't eat it without the onions, I've lived in Detroit all my life, and believe me it's a nessicary part. Second (and I know this sounds gross) but the Keros chili is actually made with ground beef heart, it gives it the right texture. Third, you've gotta use a all beef natural casing hot dog. If you have a hard time finding them, try going to the deli counter at your grocery store. Fourth, you really should try steaming the bun, it really makes a big differance. Most people overlook the bun, but it's a major part, a hot dog with out a bun is just a sausage. Finally, get a fork, a few napkins, and an empty stomach, you'll need it.
