Ingredients

  • For the Hot Dogs:
  • 6 all-beef hot dogs
  • 1 cup Java Momma Not the Momma’s coffee
  • 1 cup water
  • Coney Island Coffee Chili:
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 3/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup brewed Not the Momma’s coffee
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp Espresso Rub

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, breaking into small crumbles. Once fully browned, remove beef and drain on a paper towel.
  2. Add chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until translucent.
  3. Return beef to the pan with onions. Stir in brewed coffee, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, sea salt, and Espresso Rub.

  5. Meanwhile, in a shallow sauté pan, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup Not the Momma’s coffee. Add hot dogs.
  6. Cook hot dogs over medium heat until liquid reduces and they begin to sear slightly.
  7. Place cooked hot dogs in buns. Spoon generous amounts of coffee chili on top.
  8. Add optional toppings: chopped onion, shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, cilantro, or jalapeños.
