Chili for Hot Dogs or Burgers

This is my go-to sauce for dogs and burgers. It is great. Even fantastic. I tend to use a little too much of it sometimes, but I can't help myself.



I found this in The Real Chili Cookbook by Marjie Lambert. I found a copy at the Exit 76 Antique Mall for $3.50. Besides this recipe, I've made 5 or 6 of the chili recipes from the book and all have been fantastic. It's one of the best finds I've made!

I tend to not chop my onions as fine as the recipe calls for. I like them a little chunkier.

1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet. Add the onion and garlic and cook 5 minutes.

3. Cook over low heat for about 15 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
