Coney Island Chili Dog Sauce

By Jaxson

After countless searches for a good Coney Island sauce, I stumbled on this one at another cooking website. Most recipes I had tried were just too sweet, this is a good Midwest-style Coney sauce. I didn't follow the measurements to the letter - just eyeballed it; and I added a couple dashes of hot sauce to kick up the heat a bit.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chuck
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (heaping)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
