Step 1
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat, if necessary.

Step 4
Add the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, ground mustard, brown sugar, and hot sauce to the skillet. Stir to evenly distribute the spices throughout the mixture.
