Michael Symon's Chili Dog

This crazy dog from The Chew's Michael Symon is crazy over the top and delicious and at least a 3 napkin hotdog! Not something your cholesterol could do every week but it is worth the splurge! And oh yeah have a fork ready to enjoy all the droppings! I apologize in advance for the formatting but it is the only way I could get it to blog.

3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 pounds Ground Beef
Salt and Pepper to taste

For the Chili: In a large dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high. Add the meat to the pan and seaon with salt and pepper. Work in batches so as not to overcrowd and cook 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.

1 Onion (medium chop)
2 Garlic cloves (minced)
3 tablespoons Chili Powder
2 tablespoons Ground Cumin
1 tablespoon Paprika
2 Chilis in Adobo

Add the onion and garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes just until translucent and fragrant. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika and chilies in adobo. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.

3 cups Beef Broth (plus more if needed)

Add the tomatoes and green chilies. Add the beer and scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the meat back to the pot and stir to combine. Add the beef broth and oregano and bring the mixture up to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, making sure the mixture does not dry out. Add more beef broth to keep hydrated, if needed. Chili should be thick and rich while remaining moist.
