For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce or a dash of soy sauce to the sauce. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of your banana ketchup. A sprinkle of toasted breadcrumbs can add a delightful textural contrast to the finished dish.

01
Step
12 mins
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti, ensuring it's fully submerged, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander.

Step
13 mins
While the pasta cooks, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and pork, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes.
03
Step
15 mins
Pour in the spaghetti sauce, banana ketchup, sugar, and water. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.

Incorporate the sliced hot dogs into the sauce and continue to cook until they are heated through, approximately 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
