Equipment
- large skillet
- wooden spoon
- baking sheet
- oven
- knife
- cutting board
- measuring spoons
- measuring cups
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 hot dog buns
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef with the finely chopped onion, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon until it is fully cooked and no pink remains, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Stir in the 8-ounce can of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- While the mixture simmers, preheat your oven's broiler on high and arrange the 8 hot dog buns on a large baking sheet.
- Spoon the warm meat mixture evenly into the open buns, then top each one generously with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
Notes
Watch the broiler closely to prevent the buns from burning while the cheese melts.
