New York-Style Hot Dog Onions - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings
2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash red hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco)
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/2 cup water

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are slightly browned and somewhat soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, chili powder, hot sauce and cinnamon; mix well. Add the water and bring mixture to a boil; simmer, uncovered, until onions are completely tender and the liquid is mostly evaporated, an additional 10 minutes.
