Betty’s Own Chili Sauce

Betty demonstrates how to make her Own Chili Sauce. This sauce is meant for topping hot dogs (which will be uploaded tomorrow), but you can use it for many purposes.

Betty’s Own Chili Sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup finely-chopped onion
2 tablespoons chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound ground beef, uncooked, but crumbled
(2) 6-oz. cans tomato paste
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups water (This sauce is soupy; if you like it thicker, you may reduce the water to 2 ½ to 3 cups.)

Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add 2/3 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons chili powder, and ½ teaspoon cumin. Stir mixture to combine flavors. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Place crumbled ground beef in a crock pot. Add sautéed onion mixture, (2) 6-oz. cans tomato paste, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 ½ to 3 ½ cups water (depending on desired thickness). Place lid on crock pot, set to HIGH, and cook for 2 to 4 hours. You may remove the lid during the cooking process, if desired. The chili sauce will be “done” after about 2 hours, but will be thicker and have a more intense flavor if it is cooked longer. Serve over cooked hot dogs in buns. This is a convenient chili sauce, if you are using it at a party, because you can just turn the crock pot to LOW, and the sauce is ready throughout the span of the party. I make my chili sauce a little “soupy,” but when I serve it, I let it drain through a slotted spoon back into the pot, so that is doesn’t make the hot dog buns soggy. More tomorrow on serving up some Winning Hot Dogs!!! Love, Betty

    Betty , great recipe , id like to let you know that i followed it to a tee,
    but what i did was instead of pouring the water in directly i heat my
    skillet a bit and added the water to the skillet releasing all the
    remainding spice scent which was left , but the overall outcome was
    delicious , thnx .. :)

    You’re doing it right Betty!!! I’m a Cincy style chili master & it blows my
    mind that all the video’s of “Cincinnati style chili sauce” on TY show the
    first thing they do is browning the meat!! NOOOOOO!!!!

    You can cook your ground beef in water and stir until it turns color and
    the ground beef we be in little pieces, drain your ground beef and add your
    other ingredients.

    Haven’t tried this yet, it looks very good, what happens if no or very
    little meat is used, replaced with little red beans / whole, chopped,
    ground, Do you have a recipe using the red beans, essentially making
    chili beans only? thanks

  17. Maria Beltran

    What if I cook it in a pot on the stove? How much water should I use & how
    long should I cook it for?

  18. Mike Chaffee
