🌭 I Married a West Virginia Man... and It Changed How I Eat Hot Dogs Forever!

Before I met my husband, I thought chili for hot dogs was just regular chili spooned on top.
Then I was introduced to true Southern West Virginia Hot Dog Chili Sauce.
One bite and I was hooked.
This isn't thick Texas chili. It isn't loaded with beans. It's a rich, savory, slightly sweet meat sauce that's made specifically for piling high on hot dogs.
And after making it for years, I can honestly say...
I'll never make another kind.

Southern West Virginia Hot Dog Chili Sauce
Ingredients
* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 teaspoon chili powder
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 teaspoon cumin
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
* 1 tablespoon garlic powder
* Pinch of red pepper flakes
* 2–3 cups water
* 1 cup ketchup
* ¼ cup brown sugar
* ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

Directions
1️⃣ Add the ground beef, seasonings, and water to a large pot.
2️⃣ Break the meat apart thoroughly while stirring.
3️⃣ Simmer gently for 1–2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4️⃣ Add the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
5️⃣ Continue simmering for another 30–45 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
That's it!
The long simmer creates a smooth, flavorful chili sauce that's absolutely perfect for hot dogs.

Or honestly... straight from the spoon if nobody's looking. 😂
I always try to make extra because it freezes beautifully, and it never lasts nearly as long as I expect.

One batch usually disappears the same day I make it.��
