The ultimate

Perhaps ny quest for the perfect coney dog will lead me to the conclusion that I have to make my own sauce. Here's a recipe from John Whiten of southern Indiana which is claimed to be "the ultimate coney sauce."

John Wilhelm's Coney Island Sauce

3 pounds ground beef

2 19-ounce cans tomato puree

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon mustard

1 tablespoon salt or to taste

1 tablespoon pepper or to taste

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon oregano (dried)

1 medium onion, chopped

Combine all ingredients and cook until boiling is reached; reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.

I can't vouch for it yet, of course, but it looks promising enough to try. I might make the mustard spicy brown instead of yellow and throw in a tablespoon of molasses just for fun. In the meantime I will continue to use Skyline chili, still my choice for the best canned product out there.

Oh, by the way, Saturday is National Hot Dog Day. You know what to do. Try one of these recipes.
