Instructions

1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off the fat.
3. Stir in the beef base concentrate, Worcestershire sauce, chili seasoning, Malcom's Grande Gringo seasoning and Killer Hogs AP seasoning, then add the water.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
5. Keep reducing until most of the liquid has cooked off. Take off the heat, let cool, then refrigerate overnight.
6. Preheat a Traeger or other smoker to 250°F with hickory pellets.
7. Put the chili and the hot dogs on the grate and smoke for 45 minutes, until the chili is barely simmering and the hot dogs reach 165°F inside. Take them off and raise the grill to 400°F.
8. Lay the sausage rolls or hot dog buns on a flat iron skillet. Put a hot dog in each bun, spoon on the chili and pile the shredded cheese on top.
9. Return the skillet to the grill once it reaches 400°F and cook until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
