How to Make Der Wiener Schnitzel Style Chili Dog Sauce

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.
  5. While the chili simmers, prepare your hot dogs and buns. You can grill, pan-fry, or microwave them according to your preference.
  6. Once the chili is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more chili powder, cumin, or brown sugar to your liking.
  7. Serve the chili generously over your hot dogs, top with your favorite toppings (like shredded cheese, mustard, and chopped onions), and enjoy!
  8. Consider serving with your favorite sides, such as potato chips or coleslaw for a complete meal.
