Brown 1 pound of ground 80/20 beef in a skillet until almost fully cooked.

Add in the spice mixture: 3 tablespoons of dried minced onion, 2 tablespoons of granulated garlic, 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of oregano, 3 tablespoons of chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of black pepper.

Stir the spices into the beef until well combined.

Add 1/4 cup of ketchup and 2 cups of water to the beef mixture.

Bring the chili mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes.

After about 45 minutes, check the chili to ensure it has thickened up.

In a separate skillet, brown the Hebrew National all beef hot dogs until heated through.

Assemble the hot dogs by placing them in buns.

Spoon the thickened chili over each hot dog.

Top with cole slaw (referred to as 'sllo' in the video).

Drizzle with Texas Pete hot sauce to taste.

Serve immediately and enjoy.
