Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cups finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon (3 cloves) chopped garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
Preparation
Step 1
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat and saute onions until golden. Add ground beef, stirring to break it up, and continue cooking until the meat is completely browned. Mix in remaining ingredients then reduce heat to low and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to "marry".
Makes about 4 cups sauce (enough for 12 to 18 hot dogs).
Notes
You can spoon this right out of the pot onto hot dogs as they come off the grill or, if you're planning on grilling a little later, transfer it to a disposal aluminum pan, cover, and keep refrigerated. It can be easily reheated on the grill by placing the container, covered with aluminum foil, on a grill preheated to medium heat. Heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the sauce is heating, grill hot dogs for 5 to 8 minutes, until browned and heated through. Place hot dog rolls cut-side down on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Then assemble the hot dogs, topping them with the sauce.
