A versatile and flavorful recipe that can be used as a topping for hot dogs or as a filling for sloppy joes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks for an even texture.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Use a spoon or tilt the skillet to remove the fat carefully.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Stir in the ketchup, mustard, chili powder, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and water.
Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Letting it simmer allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the chili over hot dogs or use it as a filling for sloppy joes.
Garnish with shredded cheese or chopped onions for added flavor.
