4 strips of bacon fried, for the fat
Brown hamburger and onion in bacon fat. Rinse off with water. Take the
hamburger mixture and put into a food processor and grind fine. Put back
into saucepan, add the chili powder and enough water to cover, let simmer
for 1 hour.
It will get thick and then divide into small freezer bags, enough
for eight or ten hot dogs and freeze. When ready to use, thaw add a few
drops of water and heat in the microwave. When we make the hot dogs, we add a
slice of American cheese, chopped onions, French's yellow mustard and then the
sauce and you have a great chili dog.
I always double or triple this recipe, so I have enough whenever I need the
hot dog sauce, because it freezes really well.
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 lb. hamburger
2-1/2 oz. chili powder
