Hot Dog Chili Sauce

Ohhhhh ... this is one of the best Hot Dog Chili Sauces I have ever had. The best is from a girl that I worked at Key Chrysler with years ago. Her Mom had a crockpot sauce ... she refused to share the recipe with anyone. This is pretty close to hers, but not perfect. I will work on tweeking this one later, but for now, it was DELICIOUS! Please don't laugh at my frites that are also on the plate. Those little oven fried potatoes are a thorn in my side, I will not give up on them. I promise that in a few weeks you will have the PERFECT recipe for those little potatoes, until them, I call them "oven hashbrowns". LOL ... Here is "almost" the best ever Hot Dog Chili Sauce recipe. For you hot dog lovers, I added mustard and cheese after the photo was taken.

Hot Dog Chili Sauce Makes enough for 2 - 8 packs dogs

2 pounds ground chuck
2- 6 ounce can tomato paste
1 1/2 c. water
2 T. sugar
2 T. prepared yellow mustard
2 T. dried, minced onion
2 t. chili powder
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. salt
1/2 t. celery seed
1/2 t. ground cumin

1/4 t. ground black pepper

1. In a 2 qt. saucepan, brown the ground chuck, breaking into very small
pieces. Salt and pepper lightly while cooking. Do not drain the fat (if this grosses you out, then drain it and rinse the beef).

2. Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, 30−45 minutes until it
thickens. Stir occasionally.

3. Allow dog sauce to cool; place into the refrigerator until the hot dogs are cooked and ready to be served. Microwave the sauce before serving.
