New Jersey Hotdog Chili Sauce: 1 pound ground beef 1/4 cup mustard 1 tsp vinegar 1 tsp allspice 4 tbs chili powder 1 tsp cumin 1 tbs garlic powder 1 tsp black pepper 1 tbs brown sugar (I suggest cutting this to 2 tsp) 1 cup tomato sauce 1 cup ketchup 1/2 cup chopped onion (fine) Cook beef in a skillet, then add onion and all of the dry ingredients, mix well, and then add the rest of the listed ingredients. Simmer on low for about 30 minutes.
Hi Greg - My dad used to take me there once a month back when i was around 5 -6 years old! We always had a hot dog and a Yooho in a glass bottle with a straw. Right across the street was another competing hot dog place called Callahans! Hirams was an outdoor place with a deep fryer in the center and they just threw the hot dogs into the fryer when you ordered them. The hot dogs sink to the bottom of the fryer and then float up when they are done! I would stand on the stool to watch the hot dogs getting cooked - I used to love going there :) I am shocked to see this name brought up again - I am 70 years old so I am talking back to he 1950's - what a wonderful memory lol. Now I cook (they come out fantastic!!!) my Ball Park hot dogs in the air fryer heh heh. Big thumbs up 👍👍👍
OMG, you just described my childhood as well. I guess it was a right of passage growing up in North Jersey. And, when you mentioned the Yoohoo, I literally laughed out loud. Great memories for me as well. 👍🏻
Thanks for giving the full recipe for the chili on this one Greg, can't wait to give this a go. Just saw Guga with his Sunterra grill by the way, glad to see you and him are collaborating on multiple occasions, congrats!
Hi Greg, it's Mike Florence and thanks for another great start to 2024 back-to-back with the Beatty Burger. This chili sauce recipe looks a must-try winner. Cheers for now Greg, See Ya, Mike.
Hey Mike 😊 This is Mike Also Cheers 🍻. Greg really is A Excellent Chef & Burger Historian. I make Burgers all the time because of him! Next week Amazing Food Reviews on my channel MickCotton BBQ. Please 🙏 Check It Out. Aloha Nui Loa 😊
Hi Mike, thanks for your comment Man. Yep, Greg's channels for Burgers & BBQ Ireckon to be the best. I'm a seafood chef working in the county of Kent, England. I will certainly check-out your own channel. See Ya, Mike. @@Mickcotton
I've never heard of Hiram's before, but this looks like a killer chili dog. Deep fried hot dogs are so good and the only thing better is a deep fried dog wrapped in bacon. Game changer for sure! Cheers Greg!
The street vendors with the bacon wrapped dogs. They get you with the smell when you walk out of an event. Sure, they probably aren’t licensed or inspected but it’s worth the risk.
Thank you Greg, I love a good chili dog! My Dad and I got a chili dog at Sonic over Christmas and it was the worst dog I have ever had. What you made looks so much better. You have made the best copycat recipes I have ever seen hands down!! Thank you again:)
Nice take. I’m from Michigan, and we’re the home of the Coney Island dogs(hotdog, chili, mustard, onions)… No lie, when you put that brown sugar in there, I was like, noooooooo! Chili for a hotdog should have more of a deep smokey type of taste/finish to it. My opinion. But adding that much sugar makes it seize a little too much…. Again, my opinion. Lastly, I am also happy that you didn’t boil the hotdogs…👌🏾 #👍🏾👍🏾
Please do a copycat recipe video for the original Texas Weiner located in downtown Plainfield New Jersey. No one on the internet has attempted to recreate their hot dogs and they're so good!!
My Grandfather use to keep a boat in Fort Lee on the Hudson River back in the ‘80s when i was a kid. We’d stop at Hiram’s on our way there and grab a few dogs for the trip. My tastes were pretty simple as a kid, so I didn’t get the chili sauce, but the snap of those fried hotdogs is something I remember vividly to this very day. Thanks for refreshing this fond memory from my childhood.
Hey Greg I need to try the deep fried dogs now!! The sauce sounds delicious and I'm like you, cut back a little on the brown sugar. I would eat all 3 for sure!! Thanks again for the history and great recipe!! Cheers Bud!!!
Bravo, sir. Those look to die for. Oh, Greg, I just thought of something that I guarantee you'll like.... a slaw dog, from West Virginia. Sounds iffy, but I promise you, they're amazing. It's chili, onions, mustard, and believe it or not.... coleslaw. As far as what restaurant, I'll leave that up to you.
Anyone get in the Carteret New Jersey area stop by Tommy's hot dogs and try a chili cheese dog, Jim is doing an amazing job keeping his dad's hot dog stand going
That is somewhat similar to a recipe I made years and years ago. I grew up in the NJ area where the Hot Texas Weiners were all the rage and ate loads of them as a kid and into my late teens & early 20's. Unfortunately restaurant recipes changed when restaurants were sold to new owners, or long established restaurants went out of business and the recipes were gone for good. Not a single one is the same any more because even the basic ingredients have changed formulation at the production level. Since the mid 1970's I have been researching on occasion doing very deep dives into the origins of the Texas Weiner Sauce to get at the exact ingredients used when it originated. Luckily when I started this project, many of the restaurants were still in business which gave me an excellent start. After recipes changed or were gone, I could still do my research and testing because many people who had the original in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, were still around and could for sure tell me if I was on the right track. There is an entire notebook of recipe variations throughout the years with loads of notes, documentation of conversations I had with people who worked in those establishments, and all my research in digging through piles of information dating back to about 1910, all sitting in my cook's pantry. There is one section that is absolutely secret because it contains the 3 key ingredients (along with a very specific process) necessary to make this sauce stand out among the rest by far, and everybody either keeps missing them, or at best only has two but in the wrong amounts and then leaves out 2 or 3 other common ingredients. Maybe one day I'll go into business making and selling the spice mixture. Yours is good, I made something akin to it in my very early efforts. Good work, keep refining it!
Heck Yeah Greg....those Chili Hotdogs look crazy delicious and the chili recipe is a must try. I like fried or grill Hotdogs....I usually use Hebrew Hotdogs as they are readily available here in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 although we do get Nathans or Ballpark from time to time. Cheers from a longtime Subscriber.
Hey good video. Being from Nj I'm a hot dog fanatic. Hiram's dog by itself is great. I'm not a fan of their chili i believe Hot grill in Clifton makes the best all they way dogs mustard chili and onion. Hiram's homemade sauerkraut is the way to go its delicious. Jimmy Buffs italian dog with onions and potatoes is special treat. We also have some great hot dog trucks my favorite is Chris red hots in newark...Rutts hot is great with their relish..its either you love or don't they dont make chili dogs the sell chili but you have to put it on yourself...some people dont like doing that. The history of the "Texas weiner" is rich and it runs deep in NJ...no punt intended lol.
Sup Greg, another great hot dog, brother lives around corner, whatever hot dog they use is amazing for fry, living in RI it's a melting pot for all the east coast meat/chili sauces, all unique twist, special hot dogs, wieners, some very picky if call it hit dog when it's a wiener or vice versa, can't get to Jersey anymore but a "saugie", 'rhody dog's, dietz&Watson.. natural made and cut, like you used lol. It matters when making dogs like this, like you said at end adjust the ground ginger.. basically what all the joints do is adapt basic recipe as guide, we traveled all new England, and down to Delaware, Jersey, for burgers and dogs, made part of hunting trips, haven't been this excited in long time bro lol, tyvm tc 🌭🍔
Looks good, on my hotdog cart I do on weekends you can’t give chili dogs away where I live, people just don’t buy them. We also have to use premade chili the health department doesn’t allow us to cook anything from a raw stage when on a cart.
definitley making this in the very near future. I think cheddar or american would both be nice options. And Ill heed your advice on the brown sugar. Use less. Good video ! Thanks for sharing
Greg, I'm pretty sure you can't post a video of "The Hymen Dog" on this forum. The chili on the chili dogs seemed like it would be sweet - actually with a little green pepper and onion cooked into it, it would probably make a deluxe "sloppy Joe" sauce.
I never had those , I'm on the other coast , but that chili sauce sounds similar to the Greek style they use in Cincinnati which I used to have as a kid and now order up to make at home . It's really different and not everybody likes it. Great on spaghetti too.
Thanks for the chili recipe. Everything looks delicious. We are very proud of our Chili dogs here in NJ. I prefer the Plainfield style. The Paterson style is too wet for me. Just a personal preference. It's also about the pork and beef hot dogs.
I can do that! Funny, here in SoCal "Mexican Street Dogs" are very popular, which are very similar to Sonora Dogs. I'll have to do some research to see what most people see as a "California Dog."
@@BallisticBBQ I agree, I live in the Central Valley and I’ve had the 2 “separate versions”. Figured since you’re down south, maybe you would know the difference or could show us. Appreciate the thought, of you and your time… to find out if there’s a difference 🤙🏼🫡
I love the chili dogs from my local place Snappy Lunch here in Mayberry (Mount Airy NC) Somehow they put everything on them including mustard, onions, chili and slaw and they fit perfectly and nothing falls off of it. When I try it at home I always put too much stuff on them. You should try to copycat their porkchop sandwich.👍
I have a friend that I grew up with her and the hole family moved to North Carolina after her dad retired from GM I used to go down there with them growing up when her parents visited the grandparents and I also lived there almost 2 years myself I loved the pork chop sandwich I really liked the ground beef sandwich it’s like a loose meat burger I like them I like Mount airy North Carolina I hope to return soon I haven’t been there in 20 years
Awesome cook Greg! Deep fried butcher dogs is a can’t miss! Here in southern AZ we’re partial to Sonoran dogs with pico, green chilies and yes…mayonnaise! Check out El Guero Canelo Restaurant which is the creator of the Sonoran dog in Tucson, AZ and still in business! My favorite is the Sammy Dog (double). Just outstanding!
New Castle PA is the hot dog capital of the world. They make their hot dog sauce Greek style with out tomatoes. This would be a good research project for you. They big ones are Coney Island and PO Lunch but there is also many other ones that are very good to.
Thanks Greg!! Once again you took us to a new experience. Can you tell us where you got the dogs? I have my favorites butchers here and wondered if it’s one of them. Thanks brother!
I grew up in Trneton NJ. Was always under the impression that NJ's most famous hotdog was an Italian hotdog, made with grilled green peppers and potatoes. plus mustard.
I think there's something to be said about all 3 of the hotdogs. It's cool to do a variety like that, but if I had to choose one it would be the chili chesse dog with the slice of chesse like that.
So far I am really liking the Hex Clad. I have never used Made In, but have a set of All-Clad, which of course has no non-stick component. The Hex Clad sticks just enough to give a great sear, but still releases the food nicely.
Funny how a quality hot dog makes all the difference. There is a farm outside of Baltimore (I am a Maryland native) called Roseda Farm that makes the best hot dog in my opinion. Well worth $6 for a pack of 5.
Hey buddy ... not splitting hairs with you, but exactly how much ground beef did you use. It could have been 1# or 1.5# or even 2# but I couldn't tell. Thanks
Actually I think I might go a little more extravagant and use shallots instead of of onions both fresh as a topping and also In the Chili and actually the Chili I would want to use Buffalo Meat. Buffalo Meat is Tasty Meat!!!
I think 🤔 that the dogs would have been better if only cooked in beer and the chili meat sauce cooked with beer . Carmalized Onions with Garlic Steaming the Buns. And Carolina Reaper Cole Slaw...
Wow! I love Hot Dogs ✅. Those looked Absolutely Amazing. Hey Greg A Question Please 🙏 My feelings are whenever I make Great Burgers & Hot Dogs at Home which is All The Time. Laura & I really need French Fries !! I have a Deep Fryer w/ Peanut Oil✅😎. I use Ore-Ida Frozen. They are just so convenient & inexpensive. Do You Feel That Your Missing Out making all these Burgers w/ out Fries 🍟? Aloha Greg. I’m doing very Special Food Reviews Next Week Please Check it Out. MickCotton BBQ. ❤🥂🍔🌸
Hi Mike, I love making homemade french fries, but sometimes, on video days, there just isn't time. The day I shot this particular video I shot my Beatty St. Burger video immediately afterwards. I bought a fry cutter, which is fun!
I respect your videos but a cup of ketchup in a pound of ground meat chili is typical of northern chili for some reason. And then the brown sugar on top. Chili never ever gets ketchup. Add adobo instead.
New Jersey Hotdog Chili Sauce:
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup mustard
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp allspice
4 tbs chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbs brown sugar (I suggest cutting this to 2 tsp)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup chopped onion (fine)
Cook beef in a skillet, then add onion and all of the dry ingredients, mix well, and then add the rest of the listed ingredients. Simmer on low for about 30 minutes.
How do you like the hexclad pan overall? And of course, great recipe and video as usual! You deserve a lot more views.

Love Hiram's! And yes what you made just made me instantly hungry!
"It's my duty to taste every one of these !" Then you proceed to devour them all !!! That was funny ... Thanks....
I’ve been eating at Hiram’s for years and never had a chili dog. I’ve been missing out- the chili recipe looks delicious
Deb! It's a ABSOLUTE MUST!!!
Thanks for including the recipe in the notes. I like shredded Colby/Monterrey jack cheese on chili dogs!

So Glad you've ventured into hot dogs. My FAV!

Golden Rule , 80/20!
Try relish with the chili. I do it all the time. Even on nachos. A nice sweet cool to the spicy hot chili.
When I put cheese in a hot dog, I always let in melt on the bun or even a baguette. It creates a nice cheesy pillow for everything else.
Cheesy pillows are a good thing! Thanks, Don!

Yes, I've discovered while researching these hotdogs that Greek immigrants had a HUGE influence on these chili dogs we enjoy now.
nice! glad i saw you on guga, great dogs dawg

I will take a look at the Plainfield Style dogs. Cheers, Steven!
The Paterson, NJ style are usually called 'Texas Weiners', I guess due to the chili flavored sauce.

It is my store's in house brand. "Signature Select" from Albertson's. It doesn't specify what type of chili used.

They are/were popular in the Newark, NJ area. It was like an Italian sausage and peppers sandwich but with a hot dog.
Thank you for switching to a wooden spatula...l know you can use metal in some non stick pans...but I get a little nervous lol.

Funny how a quality hot dog makes all the difference. There is a farm outside of Baltimore (I am a Maryland native) called Roseda Farm that makes the best hot dog in my opinion. Well worth $6 for a pack of 5.
Please go to Ukiah, CA to Ellie's Mutt Hutt and make their chili dog!
Hey buddy ... not splitting hairs with you, but exactly how much ground beef did you use. It could have been 1# or 1.5# or even 2# but I couldn't tell. Thanks
1 Pound. It's in the recipe, but I forgot the say the weight in the video.
Greg, are you a NJ native? Not many outside the state of North Jersey know Rutts Hutts Rippers.
No, I just love food history, and Rippers make that list of historic food items on my list.
That chilli would be great as a sloppy joe filling!
It would be great on a burger too!
👍👍👍
Damn!
That is pretty much the same recipe I use for Sloopy Joe's.
2 yum
Boulevard drinks in Jersey City New Jersey best hot dog 🌭 chili onion sauce
How much meat to use 80/20 1 pound 0r two ?
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup mustard
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp allspice
4 tbs chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tbs garlic powder

1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup chopped onion (fine)
yellow mustard?! Ugh. Looks like French's. Gulden's please.
Great video. Love that you’re doing something simple. You know American Cheese is not real cheese, but it sure is good on hotdogs.
Thank you, Paul! Cheers, brother!
What about Rutz Hut?!?
🙂👍🥂
Rutt's Hut Clifton New Jersey!!!
NO MORE NEED BE SAID EVER
It's on the shortlist!
wow.. you just made the sloppy joes recipe, minus the brown sugar
ONIONS PLEASE
Actually I think I might go a little more extravagant and use shallots instead of of onions both fresh as a topping and also In the Chili and actually the Chili I would want to use Buffalo Meat. Buffalo Meat is Tasty Meat!!!
Hey 1st in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think 🤔 that the dogs would have been better if only cooked in beer and the chili meat sauce cooked with beer . Carmalized Onions with Garlic Steaming the Buns. And Carolina Reaper Cole Slaw...
Wow! I love Hot Dogs ✅. Those looked Absolutely Amazing. Hey Greg A Question Please 🙏 My feelings are whenever I make Great Burgers & Hot Dogs at Home which is All The Time. Laura & I really need French Fries !! I have a Deep Fryer w/ Peanut Oil✅😎. I use Ore-Ida Frozen. They are just so convenient & inexpensive. Do You Feel That Your Missing Out making all these Burgers w/ out Fries 🍟? Aloha Greg. I’m doing very Special Food Reviews Next Week Please Check it Out. MickCotton BBQ. ❤🥂🍔🌸
Hi Mike, I love making homemade french fries, but sometimes, on video days, there just isn't time. The day I shot this particular video I shot my Beatty St. Burger video immediately afterwards. I bought a fry cutter, which is fun!
I respect your videos but a cup of ketchup in a pound of ground meat chili is typical of northern chili for some reason.
And then the brown sugar on top.
Chili never ever gets ketchup.
Add adobo instead.
