Since most hot dog vendors use a canned version of this magical condiment, this recipe will help you remember why this dog became so famous! Also amazing for creating a chili-cheeseburger or making sloppy joe's!

How To Make original coney island chili

Step 1

Brown ground chuck in a skillet. Drain approximately half the residual oil. Add ground pepperoni and grated onion and brown for another minute or two.

Step 2

combine in kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, celery seed, cayenne and combine to meat mixture.
Step 3

Reduce heat and add tomato paste, liquid smoke and V8 juice and bring to a simmer.
Step 4

When chili has come to a low bubbling simmer, add cornmeal and cook low and slow for another 15 minutes.
Step 5

Ladle over hotdogs or grilled burgers. This is a welcome sauce for grated sharp cheddar cheese and minced onions, but a true Coney Dog uses classic yellow mustard and a sprinkling of onions. Enjoy!
