### 🔪 How to Make the Ultimate Chili Cheese Hot Dog:

#### 1. **Prepare the Chili**:
Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add a little bit of oil, then sauté the **onion** and **garlic** until they become soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the **ground beef** and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Once the meat is browned, stir in the **chili seasoning mix** and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Pour in the **tomato sauce**, followed by the **chili beans** (if using), and **water**. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer on low for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Season with **salt** and **pepper** to taste.

2. **Cook the Hot Dogs**:
While the chili simmers, cook your **hot dogs**. You can grill them, boil them, or pan-fry them — whichever method you prefer. If you’re using a grill, cook the hot dogs over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated through and slightly charred. If using a pan, add the hot dogs to a skillet over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.
