Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- To Make the Chili Dog Sauce:
- In a deep skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and beef broth. Use a fork to break the meat into small pieces, smashing it with the fork to create a finer texture.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet with the beef and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the chili has thickened slightly.
- To Make the Hot Dogs:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 minutes.
- Add the hot dogs to the air fryer basket and cook for 3 minutes. If desired, continue cooking in one-minute increments for a slightly browned exterior.
- To lightly toast the buns, place the hot dogs in the buns and return to the air fryer for 1 minute with the air fryer turned off.
- Spoon the hot chili sauce over the hot dogs and top with shredded cheese, minced onions, and sliced jalapenos, if desired.
- Serve hot.
