Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet or medium saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Once no longer pink, drain off excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and mix well with the beef mixture, allowing it to cook for 1-2 minutes to develop flavor.
Pour in the water, stirring to combine, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, pepper, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. If using hot sauce, add it now.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick or burn.
Check for seasoning and adjust salt or spice levels as needed. Add a splash more water if the sauce becomes too thick during cooking.
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Serve warm over hot dogs, burgers, or fries. Enjoy your authentic Pool Hall Coney Sauce!
