I came across the below recipe on the web recently. Pink's Hot Dogs is in Los Angeles, and is notable because it's where celebrities have been going for years when they crave a hot dog.Pink's hot dog chili recipe is a secret, and this recipe has no provenance, so it's probably a copycat.
Still, it might be worth a try.

Add equal amount of flour, and stir. Add in beef stock or broth. Cook the flour, broth, and oil either on stove top, oven, or microwave till brown, stirring often to prevent burning.
