By Susan52

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
• crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)

Preparation

Step 1

Crumble ground beef into a large deep skillet over medium heat. Stir in water, and mash the ground beef thoroughly with a potato masher. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, sugar, chili powder, dried minced onion, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 60 to 90 minutes, until the sauce reaches a medium consistency that is not too soupy.

Serve this on hot dogs. You can grill the hot dogs, boil them, etc.
