Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth, mixing well.
Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let the chili sauce cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the chili sauce warm over hot dogs, burgers, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
