When cooking the ground beef add the spices before cooking beef. I do this because when the burger cooks, it sets the spices right into the meat. It's my favorite way to cook beef.
To store: add the hot dogs and chili to separate covered containers. Reheat in separate containers in the microwave or on the stovetop. Eat within 3 days.
