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

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