The super hotdog and the stickbug (not at the same time)

I know that I've posted this before but... they are just too good! I give you the super hot dog.

Here is the recipe.

You need:
Hotdogs
coleslaw mix (just the vegetable mix, like the salad bags they sell)
yellow mustard
Mayo (the real stuff, not Miracle Whip)
Sugar
1 lb of ground beef
chili powder
salt
8 oz can of tomato sauce
buns
American cheese

Chili:

Fill a soup pan half way up with water and put in the ground beef. Use a fork to break up the beef... it'll look like soup. We want the beef to be really broken up.

Put it on the stove and boil it till the meat is brown. Strain out the meat and put it back in the pot.

Add the tomato sauce and the chili powder. How much chili powder is up to you but I'd start at a whole lot and work my way up. Seriously... get stupid with it.

Just cook and stir and you get hot dog chili. Note, this isn't real chili, it's for hot dogs so don't get all creative. It's meat, sauce and powder (and some salt if you want)

Coleslaw:

Get a food processor like the Tupperware one. This one is on sale from Stinkiepoo... not really a good name for someone selling food preparation products but... who am I to judge.


Add half a bag of coleslaw mix, yellow mustard and the mayo. I think I do two rings around the bowl of yellow mustard and a bunch of squirts of mayo... well I stop the mayo when it gets annoying to try and get it out of the squirt bottle... so do that much.

Add sugar too, I do like three good dumps of sugar. Not like an ice tea dump... more like a kool aide dump. Whatever, you know sugar... just stick it in there.

Mix that up with the stinkiepoo processor.

Hot dogs:

Either put them in a pan with water and liquid smoke or smoke them on your grill... either way.

Ok, then you just open the bun, put in a half of a piece of cheese, then the dog. Then do chili on one side and coleslaw on the other. It's awesome!

Also, we've been inundated with stick bugs at the house. Here's a picture of one. Since it is Texas, everything has to be bigger... and stupid. The stick bugs hang on my back porch ceiling and fall on me every so often. It's their survival strategy where they freak me out and I don't mush them. Like I said... stupid.
