Return the cooked meat to the skillet. Stir in chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and cayenne pepper.
Add the tomato paste and tomato sauce, stirring to combine.
Adjust Consistency and Flavor:
Gradually stir in the water to reach your desired chili consistency.
Add salt, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and unsweetened chocolate (if using).
Simmer:
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 30–60 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to deepen.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the chili becomes too thick, add a little more water.
Step 2: Prepare the Hot Dogs and Buns
Cook the Hot Dogs: Grill, pan-sear, or boil the hot dogs until fully cooked.
Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the hot dog buns for extra flavor and texture.
Step 3: Assemble the Chili Cheese Coneys
Place a cooked hot dog into each bun.
Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard on each hot dog.
Spoon a generous amount of chili over the hot dogs.
Top with chopped white onions and freshly shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 4: Broil and Serve
Preheat your oven broiler to high.
Arrange the assembled hot dogs on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve immediately with extra mustard, onions, or chili on the side, if desired.
