Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Prepare the chili according to your preferred recipe and keep it warm on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  2. Step 2.

    While the chili simmers, heat a flattop or large skillet over medium-high heat. Panfry the smoked beef and pork sausage, turning occasionally, until the casing is charred and blistered, about 5–7 minutes.

  3. Step 3.

    Place the cooked sausage into a classic hot dog bun. Spread a generous smear of yellow mustard along the sausage.

  4. Step 4.

    Spoon a heaping pile of warm chili over the sausage, then top with a handful of diced white onions. Serve immediately.
