Ingredients

How to make it

  • Making the Chili Dog Sauce:
  • 1. In a 2 qt. saucepan, brown the ground chuck, breaking into very small
  • pieces. Salt and pepper lightly while cooking. Do not drain the fat.
  • 2. Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, 30−45 minutes until it
  • thickens. Stir occasionally.
  • 3. Allow to cool, cover, and refrigerate until "Dog−Time". You'll be
  • microwaving what you need later.
  • Cooking your A&W Chili Dog
  • 1. Bring a 2 qt. saucepan of water to a rolling boil.
  • 2. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the desired number of
  • frankfurters to the water. Cover and let sit about 10 minutes.
  • 3. After the franks are done, microwave the chili dog sauce until steaming.
  • (Only microwave what you need, save the rest) Then microwave each hot dog
  • roll 10 seconds....just enough to warm.
  • 4. Remove the cooked franks with tongs, and place on the microwaved hot dog
  • roll.
  • 5. Add about 3 Tablespoons of your prepared A&W chili dog sauce, and the
  • chopped onion. Grated cheddar cheese is optional.

    We don't even have A&W here, and they closed the one where my folks live. It truly was one of my favorite places to eat.

    You know, it's so strange... not every A&W has the same chili sauce. There was one in a little town where I grew up that had the most amaaazing chili, and now in the place I live the chili tastes different. So, now when I go back to see my family, I get orders of the chili to go and freeze it at home.
