In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and celery over medium heat until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender.
Drain any excess fat to keep the sauce from getting too greasy.
Stir in the tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, mustard, and salt.
Mix everything well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Let it simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary.
You might want a little more salt or a dash more chili powder for extra kick.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite hot dogs in steamed buns.
Get ready for a flavor-packed meal!
