Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve warm over hot dogs, and garnish with optional toppings like diced onions or shredded cheese, if desired.
