This thread is pure evil to any chili dog lover.. I’m speechless. As for that A&W Recipe, chili means exactly that, but only 2 tablespoons powder with 5lbs of ground beef, and an overdose of tomato based sauces?? Jeezzz.. Never step foot in Michigan, you may never leave (due to tasting the real deal)..
Plenty of decent recipes posted here if you search… Best of luck.
