CINCINNATI CONEY DOG RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, water, 1/2 cup diced onion, ketchup, butter, garlic, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, celery salt, and cayenne pepper together in a pot. Mix with a potato masher or spatula over medium-high heat until mixture has a finely ground consistency and begins to bubble, about 10 minutes.
• Bring beef mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and reduces, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook hot dogs in boiling water until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange hot dog buns on a baking sheet.
• Cook buns in the preheated oven until soft and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place 1 bun on a plate. Place a hot dog in the bun and top with meat sauce. Drizzle yellow mustard and diced onion over the meat sauce. Repeat with remaining hot dogs.

Steps:

• Brown beef and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place browned mixture in a large pot and stir in the tomato sauce, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, vinegar, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for 1 1/2 hours.
• When meat mixture has about 20 minutes cooking time left, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
• Serve meat mixture over cooked spaghetti topped with cheese, beans, olives and chopped onion.
