Hot dogs with chili sauce

Ingredients:

• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 chopped garlic cloves
• 0.5 kg lean ground beef
• 2.5 tbsp. (750 ml.) ketchup
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
• Table salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 beef sausages
• 4 hot dog buns
• 0.5 tbsp. grated cheddar cheese

Preparation:

1. Place a skillet over medium heat and pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke slightly, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until softened and translucent. Add the ground beef and cook for 10 minutes, breaking it up with the back of a spatula until it's nicely browned. Mix in the ketchup, chili powder, and mustard. Cook over low heat until the mixture thickens.
2. While the sauce is cooking, turn on the grill. Place a large grill pan on two burners over medium heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill to high. Take several paper towels and fold them over to form a tight square. Dip a towel in a small amount of oil. Quickly and gently wipe the grill grates to prevent sticking.
3. Cook the sausages in boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove them from the water, pat them dry, and grill them until they have grill marks, which will also impart a smoky flavor. Brush the insides of the hot dog buns with olive oil and place them cut-side down on the grill. Cook until crispy. To serve, place the sausage in a hot dog bun, top with chili sauce, and some cheddar cheese.
