Dar's Hot Dog Chili Sauce

Everyone I've given this recipe to just loves it. Try topping your hotdog and chili with a couple tablespoons of a good coleslaw. It's wonderful!

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 36

Ingredients

• 1  lb lean ground beef
• 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 1  minced garlic clove
• 1 1⁄4 ounces  McCormick mild chili seasoning
• 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
• 1⁄4 teaspoon basil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 3  tablespoons sugar

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, brown the ground beef, chopping into small pieces.
2. While the beef is browning, run the 2 cans of diced tomatoes, juice and all, through processer (you can use canned crushed tomatoes, but do not use the "concentrated" crushed tomatoes).
3. When meat is browned, add the crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, basil, cayenne and sugar.
4. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer lightly, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring often.
5. This makes enough for about 36 hot dogs, more or less, depending on how heavily you load your sandwich. You can freeze half for a later use.
