1
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
2
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
3
Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. For extra flavor, simmer longer if time allows.
4
While chili simmers, grill or pan-fry the all-beef franks until nicely browned and heated through.
5
Lightly toast the hot dog buns on a grill or in a dry skillet.
6
Assemble: Place a frank in each toasted bun, generously top with hot chili, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and a spoonful of fresh chopped white onion.
