Carolina Chili Dogs / Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!

Hubby has been bugging me to make him some homemade Hot dog Chili!!!!  Well, I broke down and did it. The Chili was really so good and so very easy to prepare.  Make a big batch and freeze for future use...

Carolina Chili Dogs

1 1/4 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onions
1 (6oz) tomato paste
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Place the beef and 2 cups water in a dutch oven over high heat.  Bring the water to a boil.

Add the chopped onion to the beef.  When the water boils again, reduce the heat to medium.  Stir to begin breaking up the meat.

Add the tomato paste, ketchup, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Stir well until the tomato pasted has dissolved and the meat is mostly broken up.

Continue to cook the chili at a slow boil, stirring about every 5 minutes or so for about 15 minutes.  As the mixture thickens, you may need to reduce the heat to low to prevent sticking.

Enjoy!!!!
