serving dish
Skillet
spoon

Ingredients

1/4 c butter
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp ground cloves
1 c chopped onion
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp nutmeg
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Sizzle a skillet over moderate heat, then add the ground beef, onion, and butter. Cook until the beef is seared to perfection.
Strain away any extra grease from the pan before incorporating dry mustard, paprika, cinnamon, sugar, cloves, cayenne pepper, chili powder, nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together and simmer on low for 30 minutes so that the flavors are melded to perfection. Serve over delectable hot dogs or bratwurst.

Notes

If you are using ground beef, make sure to cook it until it is well done. This will ensure that your sauce has the right texture and flavor.
You can adjust the amount of spices you use depending on how spicy you want your dish to be.
If you are using fresh onions, you may need to increase the cooking time so that they have enough time to soften.
If you want to add more depth of flavor, you could try adding some Worcestershire sauce or a touch of liquid smoke to the mix.
Be sure not to overcook the sauce, as it can easily become too thick.
