Not to be confused with chili dogs from Sonic the fast food establishment.
This is a pretty good chili-for-chili-dogs recipe. I like that it shows people that chili can in fact be made in a way other than "open can, reheat".-
We like that natural stuff here at Shacknews. Real cooks make their own chili!

beans and mushrooms in chili. nonsense!

mushrooms in everything

It's amazing what works in chili. I've had amazing chili that incorporated chocolate AND peanut butter.
I'd skip the mushrooms personally, but that's because my stomach and mushrooms are not best friends.-
I put peanut butter in bean's chili recipe. Just a tablespoon adds a nice touch of flavor to the entire batch.

I don't mind them in chili so much since I support chili freedom, but on a chilidog it's just weird.

Hotdogs are getting crazy in terms of toppings these days.

For an alternate suggestion, as someone married to a vegetarian, the boca meat crumbles are basically indiscernible from beef when used for chili. Neither of us really like tofu, but veg artisans are getting better and better at imitating meat in pre-packaged ways.

I believe there was a certain chili recipe posted on the chatty which highly discouraged bean use.

I'd still eat it the shack can cry all they want.
