Method
- Brown the Beef:
- 1In a large skillet or saucepan, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon over medium heat.
- Add Seasonings and Water:
- 2Stir in the chili powder, paprika, cumin, kosher salt, black pepper, dried minced onion, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- 3Pour in 2-3 cups of water, ensuring the beef is fully covered.
- Simmer Slowly:
- 4Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- 5Let it cook uncovered on low heat for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the beef to soften into a fine texture.
- 6Add Ketchup, Brown Sugar, and Worcestershire Sauce:
- 7Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Final Simmer:
- 8Continue simmering for another 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Serve:
- 9Spoon the hot dog chili sauce over freshly grilled hot dogs, topped with mustard, onions, and slaw for a true Southern WV-style hot dog.
