This is my dad's hot dog sauce. He used to have people try to talk him into opening a hot dog stand with this sauce!

Simmer beef in broth until meat is broken up and no longer pink. Chill overnight and remove all fat.

Saute in olive oil the bell peppers, chopped onions and the garlic until tender the following ingredients in small batches so they don't get too watery.

Mix the beef and veggies bring to a boil and then add the ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Mexican chili powder, cumin, oregano, celery salt, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

Simmer at least an hour over low heat add beef broth as needed to keep thinned out. Best served the next day. Freezes well in one pint containers.
