I love chili on my hotdogs, unfortunately don't get it nearly enough that way, nor do I buy/make the chili to put on it, too often. Just like bacon, a bit fattening.
EDIT: Bluetarbaby, most likely if your mother talks anything like you do, the blushing is NOT because of the cooking.
And personally I am not a kidney bean person, and do NOT like beans in my chili. I hate hamburger meat chili as well, but on a hot dog, it's ok. If I am going to have chili, I use
Cubed chuck steak/roast and chorizo, jalapenos and CORN. I don't know why, but I like corn in my chili. If this is northern cooking, screw it I LIKE IT. If your mom brought out a pot of her chili and it had beans in it, trust me the beans would be on the side. I like it ON rice, with grated sharp cheddar and if there's any sour cream, that goes on top too. I have to put out the fire, somehow!
