BASIC CONEY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large cooking pot, brown the ground chuck and the onion over medium heat, just until the meat is no longer pink. Pour off the fat as best as you can.
• Stir in the chili powder and allow to simmer on low heat for about five minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients and allow to simmer on very low heat, covered, for 2 hours.
• Serve with onions, mustard, relish, and any kind of hot dogs on steamed buns. I like to toss the hot dogs into the sauce for about ten minutes to cook them.
• NOTE: A good way to steam hot dog buns is to put 4 or 5 buns into a gallon zip-lock bag, flip in about 2 teaspoons of tap water with your fingers and, (not sealing the bag completely), microwave it on the defrost mode for one minute.
