🛒Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce

  • 2 tbsp Blazing Star Reaper Rub
  • 1 tablespoon Bear and Burton's W Sauce or Fireshire

🔥Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef in one cup of water until it starts to brown. Break it apart into fine crumbles.
  2. Add onions and garlic: Stir in diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions become soft and translucent.
  3. Season and simmer: Add Reaper Rub
  4. Add liquids: Pour in tomato sauce, mustard and W Sauce. Stir well to combine.
  5. Simmer low and slow: Reduce heat and let the chili sauce simmer uncovered for about 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Add BBQ flavor: Stir in Blazing Star BBQ Original Sauce for that sweet-smoky BBQ depth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve hot: Spoon over grilled hotdogs, burgers, or fries, and watch it disappear fast!

💡Pro Tips
