Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare The Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  • Add Aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the garlic is aromatic and the onions are transparent.
  • Create The Sauce Base: Add ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and paprika to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  • Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Tailor the seasoning to your personal taste.
  • Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  • Serve: Once the sauce is thickened to your liking, it’s ready to be served. Spoon it over grilled hot dog burgers, or use it as a dipping sauce for fries.
