Yield
Serves 12 (Makes about 3 cups, enough for 12 hot dogs)
Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 pound 85 percent lean ground beef 1 onion, chopped fine 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon brown sugar ¼ teaspoon ground allspice 2 cups chili sauce 1 cup water ¼ cup hot sauce (see note)2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoon yellow mustard
Before You Begin
The test kitchen likes Frank’s hot sauce; if you use another brand, start with a small amount and taste for heat. Top hot dogs with sauce, chopped onion, and yellow mustard.
Instructions
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add beef and onion and cook until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, brown sugar, and allspice and cook until paste begins to darken, about 2 minutes. Add chili sauce and water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is thickened, about 7 minutes.
- Transfer half of mixture to food processor and process until coarsely ground; return to skillet and cook over medium-low heat until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in hot sauce, Worcestershire, and mustard. Serve. (Sauce can be refrigerated in airtight container for 3 days.)
