Servings 8 Hot dogs
Calories 199 kcal
- 1 pound hamburger I use a leaner hamburger for this, less fat to skim off as it cooks
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4-1/2 cup dried onions
- 1 cup water
- 6-8 dashes Red Hot or Tabasco optional
- 1-2 Tablespoons chili powder
Place the pound of ground beef (yes raw) into the bottom of your crock pot and kind of smash and separate into chunks.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine then pour over the raw hamburger in the crockpot.
Turn the crockpot onto low, cover and allow to cook for 4-5 hours.
Stir the meat mixture every now and then, skimming off any fat that may be settled on top.
When done and ready to serve you can add your hotdogs to the picture to cook them or serve them cooked on the side!
This recipe is really super good the next day and re-warmed so it's a great recipe to make ahead.
- Make Ahead Tip: This sauce tastes even better the next day! Store in an airtight container in the frdige for up to 4 days.
- Freezer Friendly: Let cool completely, then freeze in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
- Use it on more than hot dogs: It's also delicious over fries, baked potatoes, or burgers.
- Thicker Sauce Option: Remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to reduce the liquid.
