As a coney dog afficianado I collect these recipes and will share below my all-time faves. Note, I consider these coney sauces, not chili sauces. Chili sauces tend to have beans in them.
Note the instructions on the very first sauce...use this method to get the correct consistency of your meat. It also works great for Taco meat.
Enjoy!
