Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb. ground beef I used 90% lean, lean
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
  • cup water
  • 1 (8 ounce) tomato sauce canned
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon paprika sweet
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • hot dog cooked, grated, diced, for serving
  • hot dog bun
  • cheddar cheese
  • onion
  • pickle relish
  • mustard

Instructions

  1. Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is soft (about 7-10 minutes). Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into very small pieces as it cooks. Add minced garlic and continuing cooking and stirring for 1 more minute. Add water, tomato sauce, ketchup, paprika, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  2. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes (or until chili sauce thickens slightly).
  3. Spoon the chili sauce on top of hot dogs and finish with additional toppings of choice.

Notes

  • This chili sauce is designed to be a condiment that you serve on top of hot dogs, and therefore has a sweet flavor that's similar to ketchup. It is not a chili that you eat on its own in a bowl. If you're looking for a more traditional beef chili recipe that's not very sweet, try this or this Crock Pot version.
  • Use a wooden spoon or a potato masher to break up the beef into very small pieces as it cooks. A classic hot dog sauce doesn't contain any large chunks of meat.
