Preparation Steps

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Push the beef to one side of the skillet and add the chopped onion. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 minute to deepen the flavor. Add the tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and yellow mustard. Mix well to combine.
• Add the chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
• Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce is too thick, thin with a splash of water or additional beef broth. Serve hot spooned over cooked hot dogs or buns.
