1 large onion, chopped
1/4 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
1 can (15 ounce size) tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup or chili sauce
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons mustard seed
Combine the onion, bell pepper, and ground beef in a 3-quart saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked. Drain off excess grease.
Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve over hot dogs in buns.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I got rave reviews from all guests! Made someone very hard to please say it was the best hot dog she ever ate.

This is the best sauce recipe I've tasted in a while. My family loved it and wants me to make it every time we have hot dogs.
