This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I grew up on Varisity dogs and over the years tried many variations unitil finally I hit on the ONE. Yours is erily like my copy except for two things, don`t brown the meat(it will brown itself during the simmer) and you must add quite a bit of chili powder to match the Varsity flavor. Congratulations on your well thougnt out copy John F.
Why is there no chili powder in this recipe?
While it's commonly used in various chili recipes, not ALL recipes call for chili powder.

1) this makes way more chili then you think. 2) it omits the hot dogs from the recipe. Unless this is some weird kind of chili dog, you normally put the steamed hot dogs on the bun and then top with the chili. I ended up with enough chili to go on 12 hot dogs easily. Thankfully I had more buns and hot dogs so we didn't have too much leftover. I'll make it again but cut it in half first.
The hot dogs are mentioned both in the ingredient list and the directions
