Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.75 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until it is fully browned.
Step 2
Drain off any excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Step 3
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until well incorporated.
Step 6
Stir in the ketchup, beef broth, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the sauce to simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Serve warm over hot dogs and garnish with your favorite toppings, like shredded cheese or diced onions.
