Crockpot Hot Dog Chili – Classic, Tangy, and Perfectly Spoonable

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Brown the Beef:
   In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and water. Cook, breaking it into fine crumbles, until fully browned. Drain off excess grease.
2. Transfer to Slow Cooker:
   Place the cooked beef into a crockpot.
3. Add the Flavor:
   Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, pepper, sugar, and onion powder to the beef. Stir to combine thoroughly.
4. Slow Cook:
   Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 2½ hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allow flavors to develop.
5. Serve:
   Stir before serving and spoon generously over hot dogs, fries, burgers, or nachos for a flavorful finish.
