We made this and it turned out more like spaghetti sauce than hot dog chili. Not sure what was wrong but I’ll be freezing it to add to our spaghetti.
Still searching for homemade chili.

This coney sauce is by far the best I have had! I tried this because another reviewer said the same thing! However, in my hometown, there is a hotdog place called Gene’s Root Beer Stand and they put a little horseradish in the slaw they top on their chili slaw dog. Try adding a little to your slaw if you make this and you will LOVE it!
