A flavorful and hearty chili topping perfect for enhancing your hot dogs.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break up the beef into small crumbles as it cooks for an even texture.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Use a spoon to carefully remove the fat or tilt the skillet to pour it out.
Add the spices, tomato sauce, and water to the skillet.
Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Cover the skillet partially to prevent splattering while allowing the sauce to thicken.
Serve the chili topping over hot dogs and enjoy.
Garnish with shredded cheese or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
