Instructions
- Prepare the spaghetti pasta as per the package instructions. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the remaining water.

- Using the same skillet, cook the onion, garlic, and bell pepper (if desired) in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat until they become translucent.
- Cook the ground beef with onion, garlic, and bell pepper until the meat is lightly browned and tender. Break the meat into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the tomato sauce, banana ketchup, sugar, tomato paste, and reserved pasta water to the skillet with the meat mixture. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Keep the skillet covered and allow the mixture to simmer over low to medium heat for around 30 minutes until the sauce thickened.
- Mix the hot dog slices into the sauce until coated evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Remove from heat.
- Plate the cooked spaghetti and top it with a ladle of sauce. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and serve immediately.
