This is a classic Greek coney dog sauce. I have travelled and eaten more coney dogs than anyone I know and this is hands down the best recipe I have ever come across. It was given to me by an old Greek in Michigan.
Oh yes...you DO need that much lard!!
Original Greek Coney Sauce
CATEGORY(S):
Sauces
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound Ground beef
1 cup Shortening
1 medium Onion(s), diced
1/3 cup Chili powder
2 teaspoons Paprika
1 teaspoon Black pepper, coarsely ground
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cumin powder
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 teaspoon Basil, dried
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Oregano, dried
PREPARATION (Skip this part when using brisket)
To get the right consistency, cover the meat with water and soak, in the fridge, for 2 hours. Then take a fork and break up any remaining chunks. Drain the water and go on to browning. You will have some water while browning but it will slowly steam off.
Brown beef, onion and shortening.
Add remaining ingredients.
Simmer for 2 hours. You may have to add some water.
This freezes well.
