Teach your old dog a new trick with these Sloppy Jose Hot Dogs. They're an inexpensive and flavorful family meal that everyone will love. They're also a cheap and cheerful way to feed the gang while watching the big game.

My husband and I, along with some of his brothers and sisters, recently purchased a half of a steer from another family member who is a cattle farmer.
As you can imagine, I now have more beef in my freezer than ever have before, and a lot of it is ground beef.

What I wrote about this recipe in 2018:
I'm not sure why the ratio of ground beef to the other cuts of meat is so high, but what I do know is that this is some of the best tasting ground beef we have ever eaten, so I'm not complaining.
Since my freezer is brimming with ground beef, I'll be cooking with it...a lot, and most likely sharing the majority of recipes with you here on my blog.
First up is my original recipe for Sloppy Joe Hot Dogs with Black Beans and Chiles.
The base of the Sloppy José sauce is browned ground beef sauteed with onions, Southwestern seasonings, and some canned black beans and fire-roasted chiles for a subtle yet noticeable kick of flavor.

Why this recipe works:
This casual yet flavorful meal can be on the dinner table in under 30 minutes, and odds are you already have everything you need to make these Southwestern-inspired chili dogs in your pantry, freezer, and refrigerator right now.
Save this for later.

The ingredients list is short and inexpensive so feeding a hungry family, or even a crowd for the big game celebration, won't break the bank.

You know, when we moved to Texas, one of my friend's dads talked to us about how he split a steer with a friend once upon a time and got a TON of ground beef, too. Not sure what's up with the proportions of that... but my goodness, I'd happily make these dogs any day of the week. DELICIOUS!
