Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 cups water
  • 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 Tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Place ground beef in a heavy-bottomed large pot and cover with water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring to break up the clumps.
  • Once the beef has turned the color brown, add the remaining ingredients.
  • Reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, partially covered, stirring occasionally.

Notes

I use Texas Pete hot sauce in this recipe, which isn’t too spicy.
