Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and incorporate the paste.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover partially with a lid and let cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a splash of water if the chili gets too thick.

Step 9

Serve the chili spooned over hot dogs in buns, garnished with diced onions and shredded cheese, if desired, for an authentic Coney Island experience.
