4 oz 93% lean ground beef

Prep 15 min · Cook 10 min

In a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef for 5 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any rendered fat from the pan. Done when browned and cooked through, 160°F.
Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. If the mixture gets too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time. It is ready when a spoon dragged through the center leaves a trail that closes slowly. Done when thickened sauce coats the beef.
While the chili simmers, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the turkey hot dog and simmer for 7 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain well. Done when plump and hot, 165°F.
While the hot dog finishes, toast the bun in a toaster or under a broiler for 1 minute until lightly golden. Place the hot dog in the bun, spoon the beef chili over the top, and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese while the chili is hot.
