At one time, our local community park held auctions every Saturday night. They rented the kitchen and sold refreshments. I got the job of running the kitchen. I was paid a small fee, but I would have worked for nothing just for the fun. Auctions can be exciting and quite addictive!
The hot dogs they had me serve were the best ever!!!
I talked the lady into giving me the recipe for her secret sauce. It is almost identical to the original “Coney Dog” sauce from “way back when”!
HOT DOG CHILI
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion diced finely.
1 twelve ounce can of tomato paste
2 to 3 cans of water. (Start with less and add as needed )
1/2 cup catsup
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Do not brown the beef!
Combine all ingredients in pot and simmer for 1 1/2 hours adding water as needed to keep from sticking and burning.
