Directions
- Step 1
In a large, heavy pot, cook your bacon until the fat has rendered out and the bacon is starting to crisp. Add onions and garlic and cook until onions are translucent. Add beef, chorizo, and beer, breaking the meat up into small pieces.
- Step 2
Stir in all of your spices and the tomato paste and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Step 3
After an hour, add vinegar and taste to see if salt and pepper are needed.
- Step 4
Cook your hot dogs and warm your buns, then top with chili. Additional toppings: diced white onion, pickled jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and Fritos. Do not leave out the Fritos.
