directions

  • In a large skillet, saute ground beef and onion over medium heat, stirring often, until beef is browned. Add tomato sauce, chili powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring mixture to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • NOTE: For a real taste treat, place cooked hot dogs on rolls and top with sauce; you should have enough for about 10. Add your favorite regular toppings, too. To make the sauce taste as if it came from a New York pushcart, add a little cinnamon. Oregano will give it a Greek or Italian flavor and a teaspoon of ground cumin will make it an authentic chili dog.

  1. I made this so I would have a tasty topping for baked potatoes. I used ground turkey to cut down fat, and seasoned with chili powder, cumin and a dash of smoked paprika. YUM! I had a little leftover and popped it in the freezer for my next craving for a good ol' chili dog. Thanks for posting NELady. Made for Choose Your Event Party.
     
  2. Great base recipe! I added some cumin and everyone loved it!
     
  3. I made this a week ago and froze it. I pulled it out on Saturday. I heated some hotdogs and put them in the crockpot with this sauce on top and took it to the race track. Everyone enjoyed them, I came home with an empty crockpot! I made these exactly as written.
     
  4. This was super easy, and delicious too! It also brings me back to delicious hot dogs I've had at street carts. Definitely a keeper! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag Game.
     
  5. Oh wow...this is such an easy hotdog sauce and one that is loved by this family of MEN. I buy the big 1/4 pound hotdogs and then with this sauce chose a hoagie type bun to hold it all together. Perfect. You really only needed one:-) Made for NewKids on the Block tag game~
