Classic Chili Dog Sauce

Classic Chili Dog Sauce 😋
(That old-school hot dog stand flavor)

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely minced
• 1 cup water
• 3 tbsp tomato sauce or ketchup
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp sugar (optional, for balance)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add beef and water. Break the meat up very fine while cooking.
2. Add onion and all seasonings. Stir well.
3. Simmer uncovered 25–30 minutes, stirring often, until thick and saucy (not chunky).
4. Taste and adjust seasoning.

🌭 Serve over hot dogs and top with mustard & onions for the real classic vibe.
Rich, smooth, and messy in the best way 😄
