- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Place a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, yellow mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 6
Pour in the water and stir to incorporate. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the chili hot over your favorite hot dogs, or spoon onto buns for delicious sloppy joes. Garnish with shredded cheese, diced onions, or pickles, if desired.
