DIRECTIONS
- When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Heat a large Dutch oven on the stove top over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Add all chili ingredients, minus the chocolate and limes, to the Dutch oven. NOTE: If a milder spice level is desired, omit jalapeños.
- Place Dutch oven inside the grill and cook for 4 hours stirring every hour. Add more liquid as needed if it begins to look dry.
- Remove Dutch oven from grill and increase Traeger temperature to 500° and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Grill the hot dogs for 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the hot dogs are cooking, finish chili with juice of 2 limes and chocolate.
- Pull the hot dogs off and assemble the chili dogs with cheese and sprinkle onions on top. Garnish with sliced jalapeño, if desired. Enjoy!
