Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring the beef and onion mixture is fully coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the tomato paste to caramelize slightly.

Step 4

Add the ketchup, water, yellow mustard, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and develop a rich, deep flavor.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Serve warm over hot dogs, and garnish with optional toppings like diced onions or shredded cheese, if desired.
