    2 pounds ground beef, 1 small sweet yellow onion, 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • Stir in garlic and sauté just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
    3 cloves garlic
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours before serving. As the sauce cooks down, add in water in ½ cup increments to keep from drying out, about every 25 minutes.
    cup ketchup, 2 tbsp yellow mustard, 1 cup water, 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tbsp. chili powder
  • Serve hot on top of you favorite grilled hots dogs and buns. Dogs can be topped with shredded cheddar, mustard, chopped red onion, chives, pickles, diced jalapenos, etc.

Notes

I like the consistency of my sauce to be on the smoother side. To accomplish this, once the sauce is cooked, I transfer about half the sauce and a food processor or blender fitted with the steel blade and puree until smooth.
FYI- You will want to do this in small batches to avoid a sauce explosion from your blender. Hot liquids + blender/food processor= no Bueno- learned that one the hard way.
