This Easy Hotdog Chili Sauce Recipe is, of course, a delicious way to top a hotdog, however, it can also be used as a chili sauce for toppings for baked potatoes! I suggest making a big batch and keeping it in the freezer for a quick weeknight meal after a busy day.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until no longer pink.
Add chopped onion, saute until cooked and soft, roughly 2-3 minutes
Transfer cooked beef and onion mixture to your food processor and pulse until it's finely chopped BUT not made into a paste. If your beef is very fatty you can remove the grease, if desired, I do not.
Return the chopped meat mixture to the pan, add seasonings, tomato paste, water and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Allow to simmer until desired thickness, roughly 30 minutes.
