  • 3 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • salt
  • 4 hot dog buns
  • 4 hot dogs

Method

  • Break up and lightly brown the ground beef in a 4-quart saucepan.
  • Add onions and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Add hot water to make a thick mix and stir together.
  • Add mustard, sugar, vinegar, chili powder, and ketchup.

  • Use to top hot dogs in buns.
  • (I like to lightly toast the buns with a little garlic butter first).
