Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place hot dogs in a large stockpot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn heat off, cover, and let sit.

Meanwhile, whisk water, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder until smooth.

Step 3

Drain ground beef mixture and return to the skillet. Stir in reserved ketchup mixture, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Place hot dogs in buns. Top hot dogs with beef mixture. Divide remaining onions on top of the beef mixture and garnish with mustard.
