Hot Dog Chili- Southern Style

Jakiblue's Note:

Condiment- finer than regular chili. This came from sorta watching things when I was young, and in the South, every Sunday was relative get togethers at my Maw Maws house, which was next door. Ahh, what fond laid back memories! I kept playing around with what I remembered (she didn't use a glove) and came up with this concoction.And , please, don't forget the coleslaw and onions to go on your dogs!!!

1. Take out ground chuck 30 minutes ahead of time (this warms it up for your hand) Using gloved hand,squish in 1st 8 ingredients until you can no longer see tomato juice.
2. Start cooking on med to med high,stirring, watching till it starts cooking and turn down to simmer, stirring occasionally.
3. Simmer about 30 minutes to 1 hour,or longer, You really can't over cook.
4. Add ketchup,a few squirts at a time for color and flavor.

EXCELLENT! I added a can of petit diced tomatoes. Just can't beat chili as a condiment on a hot dog! Just goes together like peanut butter and jelly does. It is best to use lean beef. Prepared as a participant in the Southern, Cajun, Creole Sept 2009 Tag Event in the Cooking Photo Forum.
