Chili Dog Soup

I am really not sure how this ended up in my recipe list. I must have thought it was interesting at some point. Tonight we found out...it's good. Surprisingly good. I could use a nice big piece of bread with it, but that would defeat the low carb effort. 

Chili Dog Soup

Recipe from Ibreatheimhungry.com

Serves 6

1.5 lbs ground beef (90/10)

1/2 c prepared salsa (I used Pace medium)

3 c water

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 T ground cumin

1/4 tsp ground mustard powder

4 good quality hot dogs, sliced

1/4 c low sugar ketchup

2 T Dijon mustard

1 tsp red wine vinegar

Combine the ground beef, salsa, water, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, ground mustard, and sliced hot dogs in a medium sized pot. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes (or 3 hours in a crockpot on low heat). Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and red wine vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve hot garnished with your favorite chili dog toppings.

Topping Suggestions: Chopped onions (raw or cooked), shredded cheese, sauerkraut, cilantro, avocado, or anything else you like!

I topped mine with dill pickles, sour cream and cheese.
