Flint'S Original Coney Island - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb hamburger (not lean)
1/2 lb beef hot dog, ground up (the cheap hot dogs work best)
1 onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons mild paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 cups water

Preparation

Mix all ingredients in a heavy pan and cook over med to low heat until mixture cooks and becomes dry and crumbly.
If it seems too wet or greasy, add a few crumbled saltine crackers.
Best if made a day ahead and reheated in a frying pan.
Freezes well.
Note: I grind my hot dogs up in a blender with a little water.
I also chop the onions using my blender with water.
