If you are having a BBQ get-together with friends, then this recipe will serve you well, as it makes a lot of hot dog topping. It can also be used to make a delicious Sloppy Joe sandwich. and change up the ground beef with pulled pork, and it works fort that too. Here's my entry into the hot doge topping list.
Ingredients:
12 oz. can tomato paste
18 oz can Tomato Sauce
3‑12 oz. can nay beans (optional)
1 1/2 cloves minced garlic
2 medium yellow onion, diced
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 ½ cup dark brown sugar
3 tsp. Chili Powder
1 ½ tsp. Salt
3 tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
3 bay leaf, crumbled
6 tbs. olive oil
3 lb. ground beef
Place ground beef into a 12 inch covered frying pan and place over medium heat. While the pan is warming, add the olive oil to a 1 quart sauce pan and apply medium heat. Add the garlic,
onion, and bay leaf to the oil and saute until the onion turns
translucent. Add the remaining ingredients, stir until well
blended, cover and turn down heat to simmer.
Lift the lid from the ground beef and break up the meat into
a fine crumble, or little chunks, as you prefer. Lightly salt the meat, stir, and cover.
Check the meat and stir the sauce every five minutes until the
meat is cooked through. Drain the meat into a suitable bowl and place the juice in the refrigerator for later use. Combine the meat and sauce and serve on top of the hot dogs, or over hamburger buns.. Serves 12, or 6 hearty appetites.
This sauce works great over grilled Kielbasas, or even on Brats. Enjoy.

Now you get my wife's recipe. When you see it, you might just say “why bother”. But let me assure you that on a cold day,
when time is at a premium, this tasty and quick meal is sure
to please. I would not have ever thought to make this on my
own.
It just goes to show that there are some pretty basic recipes around that taste great. feel free to add liquid smoke, or your favorite BBQ sauce to the recipe. Me, I like it just the way it is. Sometimes I use dark red kidney beans in place of the navy beans. I love that flavor addition.

2 lbs. Ground Beef
½ tsp. Salt
brown the ground beef. drain. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir and heat over medium heat for 5 minutes. Serve as a topping, or on top of brats, or hot dogs.
