Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp yellow onion minced
  • 3 tbsp green bell pepper minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh jalapeno minced
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a skillet on medium-high heat and start browning the ground beef, onions, and peppers. Stir in the spices.
  • Add the ketchup, water and white sugar and stir. Add the flour and stir.
  • Simmer for 25-30 minutes

Notes

If the mixture is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of water. If you want it really spicy add a couple of drops of tabasco sauce. These were great served on a bakery hot dog roll with homemade coleslaw.
