- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 3 pounds ground sirloin
- 1 (4) ounce package Ben Jack Larado’s Chuckwagon Chili Seasoning Mix 1 (12-ounce) bottle Ben Jack Larado’s 1781 Original Red tomato juice
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole tomatoes (juice included) 1⁄2 can ranch-style beans

- Chili Directions:
- Add 1⁄2 cup water to a hot soup pot. Add onion, cooking 10 minutes. Add meat. The trick here is to cook the meat without stirring too much. Just before the meat is completely done, add chili seasoning. Stir. Add 1781 Original Red, tomatoes and 1⁄4 cup water. Stir gently. Bring to a low simmer, cooking for 15 minutes. Add 3⁄4 cup water and beans. Simmer slowly for about 1 hour.
- Stir 5-6 times. Turn the heat off. Do not stir, letting the chili set for a few minutes. The meat shouldn’t have much fat in it. To check, take a shallow spoon, gently dip the liquid fat off the top of the chili. Stir 5- 6 times, let sit a few minutes more and dip the fat off again.
- Hot Dog Directions:
- Grill hot dogs on an outdoor grill or boil until plump and centers are warmed through.
- Place hot dogs in buns and top with chili. Add toppings as desired.
