I try to keep homemade chili dog sauce in the freezer, but this is my favorite canned brand to keep on hand when I'm out.

Chili dogs always bark at night. If you get that we can be friends. Ha

Yep. I'm surprised so many on here prefer Hormel. To each his own though.

Who the hell wants to go through the trouble of making a bunch of chili for a few hot dogs? A can is so much easier and less waste

I do both. If we make a big batch of chili, we do hotdogs the second night. And I freeze it in a bunch of quart containers so we can either eat it as an entree or use it for hot dogs without much waste.
That said, I just ate a Hormel dog. I like it. We have Wolf here, but last time I tried it I found it tasted like nothing but the metal can.

I don't do it often, but I have made hotdog chili -- as opposed to regular chili. The difference to me is that hotdog chili needs to have a certain consistency (and no beans, of course). To get that consistency, you boil the hamburger which breaks it up into teeny tiny pieces, strain it, then add the seasonings.

Married my wife and her Texan arse turned me from Hormel to Wolf.

Agreed. And onions chopped very fine or grated. But I prefer not to strain. Just add enough water to get it simmering hard and breaking up and cook the water away. Then add the rest to taste.

Huh? Boiled hamburger sounds nasty.
If you want Hormel or Wolf chili consistency, all you do is add flour until you find what you prefer. No tricks needed, especially not boiling ground beef. You just went against every principle of the maillard reaction.

I worked the grill at a T-Willies Frostop in High school (About 600 years ago). Our hot dog used a New England style bun - Rectangular buns, sliced down the middle of the top crust, sliced between buns and both sides butter toasted. Anyhow, we made our own chili and boiled the hamburger meat in water, then drained off at least some of the liquid like you said. It made the most uniform chili. Folks loved those dogs. We sold hundreds of them a week, either hot dogs with chili, onions, and yellow mustard or hot dogs with chili, cheese, mustard, and onions. I need to remember the recipe. Made in batches with 10 pounds of ground beef in a big pot, using Mexene brand chili powder and dehydrated onions black pepper and salt
It would be nice to find New England style buns down here. They were really good hot dogs with the sides butter toasted on the bun grill.

I made my regular chili one time in an instapott, cooked it too long, and disintegrated the ground meat. It made for a fine hotdog chili. Now that's what I do for dogs if I don't pop a can of Wolf or Hormel. Soon..

I’m not a fan of hormel. I actually think it’s awful on its own. My girls like it since my money pays for it at their cafeteria. But when you combine it with simple ingredients, it all seems to work together.
Ask old gal what’s the difference between hotdog sauce and chili. I want to try a few cans I’ve seen in this thread.
And can you get this in Nola?

I'm not sure. I tried to find their retail locations online but couldn't find a list or map.
I'm in Georgia. Amazon and Walmart carries it. Amazon is pricey. Not sure if WM ships it.
Edit - upon further review, I think I was wrong about WM selling it.

Made in NC by the same company that makes Texas Tailgate chili sauce (not a fan of TT).

It’s the best method for hot dog chili. Someone posted a thread on here a year or two back with a recipe for hot dog chili and it’s legit. Has mustard and ketchup in it.

Exactly. That’s way more than a can. It literally takes a spoonful on a hot dog
