Provided by Pamela Shank

Categories     Sandwiches/Burgers

Time 2h20m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb ground chuck (80/20)
1 lb ground sirloin
2-3 cups cold water
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons coarse black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons dried garlic flakes
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Place ground meats in a large dutch oven. Add enough water to just cover the meat. Bring to a boil, uncovered. Stir frequently to break meat into small pieces. Reduce heat to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic flakes, onion flakes, red pepper (START with lesser amount), and garlic salt. Stir into the meat after it comes to a boil.
  • Cook meat for 1 1/2 hours on a low simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from the heat. Remove grease with a large spoon. Leave some on to maintain consistency. More will cook off when it is warmed up. We leave about 1/4 cup.
  • In a medium size bowl, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir into the meat, and continue to simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Taste to see if any spices need adjusted, such as adding more salt and the rest of the red pepper. Allow these to simmer the last few minutes.
  • Stir well prior to serving. Makes enough for 24 regular size hot dogs.
  • Freezes well
  • ***Best if made a few hours or a day prior to serving to allow flavors to blend well.

My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. We absolutely love it! I cook it for several hours in the crock pot, and I usually double or even triple it, because my family loves having the leftovers!

Provided by Possumstew

Categories     Sauces

Time 8h20m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef, browned
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
3 cups water
1 quart tomato juice
1 1/2 cups ketchup
15 ounces tomato sauce
1/8 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
4 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in your crock pot.
  • Allow to cook at least 8 hours on low (in the older Crockpots -- the newer ones sometimes seem to cook too high). I usually cook mine overnight, then even allow it to cook part of the day before turning it to warm.
  • ***It can also be cooked on the stove, if you need it to get done sooner. In this case, you may want to leave the water out.
  • Enjoy on hot dogs (or "saucedogs" for my daughter who doesn't like hotdogs, and only eats sauce on a bun LOL) or use as a sloppy joe filling!
