  The chilli recipe makes enough chilli for 16-20 hot dogs,
  which may seem like a lot, but you're just getting a
  large spoonful with each dog. So, if you have fewer
  people to cook for, just use the leftover chilli as a
  stand-alone-dish for later.
  
  If you're feeding more, just double the chilli recipe.
  You'll be happy you made a big batch. A note on the hot
  dogs, get the best quality hot dog you can, I/we tend to
  look for kosher dogs. The hot dogs themselves only need
  to be grilled enough to be heated; they are already
  cooked when you take them out of the package.
  
  Make the chilli first. Fry the bacon over medium heat
  until it begins to get crispy, then add the onions and
  fry over high heat, stirring often, until they begin to
  brown.
  
  Add in the ground beef and stir in well. Cook this,
  still over high heat and stirring occasionally, until
  the beef is no longer pink. This will take a few minutes.
  When the beef is about halfway cooked, toss in the garlic
  and mix well.
  
  Once the beef is well browned, add the tomato sauce,
  molasses and beef broth. Add all the spices except the
  cayenne and stir well. Bring to a simmer and taste. Add
  salt or more cayenne if it needs it. You can of course
  add much more cayenne or chilli powder if you like things
  really zippy, but taste first and then add more if you
  like.
  
  Let the chilli cook on a gentle simmer for at least 30
  minutes before you start grilling the hot dogs. You can
  cook it several hours if you want to, adding a little
  more beef or chicken broth here and there if the chilli
  gets too dry.
  
  Grill your hot dogs over medium heat until they get a
  light char/grill marks. Grill the hot dog buns briefly
  if you want - no more than a minute, as they will burn
  fast. You can also paint the buns with vegetable oil or
  butter before grilling if you'd like.
  
  Dog goes in bun, chilli goes on top, sprinkle on chopped
  onion and shredded cheese, and have at it!
