Old Timey Southern Hot Dog Chili
Old Timey Southern Hot Dog Chili
You want to make Carolinians happy? Give them great hot dog chili. One of the most famous hot dog chili recipes in North Carolina was made by the late Mabel Morgan of Wilson, NC. Mabel was the one who made the chili for her family’s hot dog stand, called Bruce's Hot Dog Stand. I tried to get her recipe for years and I was finally able to get it from Mabel's daughter, Millie. This is her exact recipe - and it is goes perfect with an "All The Way", Frosty Morn hot dog.
- 1 1/4 lb ground beef
- 1 large onion (About 1 cup chopped)
- 1 (6-oz) can tomato paste
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbls chili powder
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp cider or white vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
Place the beef, onion and 2 cups of water in a Dutch oven or soup pot over very high heat. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and stir to begin breaking up the meat. Add the tomato paste, ketchup, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper, if using. Stir well until the tomato paste and ketchup are dissolved and the meat is mostly broken up. Continue to cook at a simmer, stirring about every 5 minutes, about 15 minutes. As the chili thickens, you may need to reduce the heat to med-low or low so it doesn't stick. Refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days, or freeze in small freezer bags up to 6 months. Thaw or reheat in a microwave, stirring often. Makes about 1 qt.

All my old retired teacher golfing buddies had a picnic today, practicing social distancing! We all enjoy good hot dogs with everything,even occasionally Ketchup? I volunteered do to the Chili! When I read the lady say she lived at one time in Wilson,NC(sometimes pronounced
WULSON) that sealed the deal for me to make her recipe They all loved it! I was so glad I made it, I had to take my hat off cause it was feeling too tight for my swelled head? Why Wilson help make up my mind was that I graduated from Atlantic Christian College there in 1965. Wilson had quit a few good hot dog places when I was there, sadly Mable went of business the year I came to Wilson but Parker's Bar-B-Que was going strong! You could eat family style(fried chicken, Brunswick Stew, Boiled Potatoes, corn sticks and sweet tea for $1.47 including tax! Shamefully one of the owners ask me and my room mate to leave saying something about him eating 4 bowls of Bar-B-Que and me 20+ pieces of chicken?
You can't beat this chili recipe I made it out of 2 lbs 85-15 and kicked it up a bit with 1/2 ts of cayenne, 1 1/2 ts of black pepper and added a 3rd more to all ingredients plus 1 cup of water. Mable sure new what she was doing!! ECLIPSEBIGDOG
