Chili Cheese Glizzburger
This Chili Cheese Glizzburger is my version of the iconic “Glizzburger” invented by the one and only “@thevulgarchef”. It’s a ground beef stuffed hot dog served on a bun and piled with homemade beef chili. And it’s really freaking good. Looking for more elevated hot dogs? Try my Big Mac Dog, Bacon-Wrapped Chorizo Dogs, or Cheesy Bacon-Wrapped Chorizo Dogs! Is it Chili in Here? Yes. Yes it is! Start your Chili Cheese Glizzburger with a homemade chili. It’s super simple and also delicious on its own, so feel free to make extra! First, preheat a medium heat fire for direct cooking at around 350ºF. Place a dutch oven over the heat and drizzle in a little bit of oil. Add in the ground beef, then allow that to brown for a couple of minutes. Pull the beef off of the heat and set it aside. Place the now empty dutch oven back onto the grill, then add in the onion and garlic. Cook that for a couple of minutes until browned, then sprinkle on guajillo chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. Let the spices cook for a minute, stirring to fully coat the onion and garlic. Don’t skip this. Toasting the spices for the Chili Cheese Glizzburger releases their aroma and flavor. Super important! Lastly, add the browned beef, beef broth, chipotle puree, and chopped tomatoes back into the dutch oven. Bring the heat down to 300-325ºF, then let the chili for the Chili Cheese Glizzburger simmer for a couple of hours to thicken. Be sure to stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pot. Prep the Hot Dogs for Your Chili Cheese Glizzburger Next up, let’s get the hot dogs ready to go. So, slice each hot dog almost from end to end. Each end should still be connected, though. They shouldn’t be completely sliced in half. Take a handful of ground beef and “stuff” it into each hot dog. They should resemble a football shape. Place the hot dogs on a tray and place them into the fridge to set for 1 hour. This is necessary to prevent the Chili Cheese Glizzburger from just falling apart. Love Chili? Try our Chipotle Garlic Chili Con Carne, Smoked Beef Short Rib and Guinness Chili or our Jalapeno Lime Rotisserie Chicken Chili. Time to Cook With the chili ready to go and the beef stuffed hot dogs nice and set, it’s time to cook the glizzburgers. So, kick the heat on the grill up to 375ºF. Add the glizzburgers onto the grill and cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side. While they’re cooking, grab your favorite burger seasoning and give them a good layer of spice. Additionally, keep an eye on them as they cook so they don’t burn. If they do start to burn, pull them over to the cooler side of the grill and close the lid so they continue to cook. Pull the cooked hot dogs off of the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Assemble Your Chili Cheese Glizzburger Lastly, let’s get this show on the road, because I know I’m ready to eat. Place each hot dog into a warmed hot dog bun, then top it off with a scoop of your prepared chili followed by a sprinkle of sharp cheddar, diced white onions, and chopped cilantro.
