Basic Coney Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs ground chuck
2 cups fresh onions, diced
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 cups ketchup
15 ounces tomato sauce
12 ounces beer (not \"lite\")
1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard

Preparation

In a large cooking pot, brown the ground chuck and the onion over medium heat, just until the meat is no longer pink. Pour off the fat as best as you can.
Stir in the chili powder and allow to simmer on low heat for about five minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and allow to simmer on very low heat, covered, for 2 hours.
Serve with onions, mustard, relish, and any kind of hot dogs on steamed buns. I like to toss the hot dogs into the sauce for about ten minutes to cook them.
NOTE: A good way to steam hot dog buns is to put 4 or 5 buns into a gallon zip-lock bag, flip in about 2 teaspoons of tap water with your fingers and, (not sealing the bag completely), microwave it on the defrost mode for one minute.
