Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 Small onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces Tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks.
Once the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3–5 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water, mixing well to combine.
Add the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the sauce simmer for 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and allowing the flavors to meld.
If the sauce thickens too much during cooking, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Serve the Coney sauce warm over hot dogs or as a topping for fries, burgers, or other dishes of your choice.
