This is one delicious sauce, that I've been making since a teenager...give it a try sometime...if you don't like heat, just leave out the cayenne...so good!

Enjoy!

How to Make ~ Hot Dog Sauce ~ Cassie's

Step-by-Step

In a small skillet, saute onions and garlic in oil until just staring to brown. Set aside.

In a large bowl add the ground beef and cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne, salt, pepper. Add 2 cups of water and mix all together until ground beef is small pieces and spices are thoroughly blended. ( i use my hands; it's easier to get the ground beef to the right consistency...you don't want any large pieces remaining.)
Add the burger mixture to a 2 quart dutch oven; stir in the onion mixture.

Now, stir in tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire Sauce, ketchup and remaining 2 cups of water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Remain simmering for 1 1/2 - 2 hours; stirring occasionally until desired thickness is reached. I usually cook mine for 1 1/2 hours.
