Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce. If you prefer a slightly sweeter sauce, a tablespoon of brown sugar can balance the acidity of the catsup. Ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner alternative to hamburger. Adjust the chili powder to your taste to control the heat level.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Coney sauce generously over hot dogs for a classic taste. It pairs beautifully with Hamburger Rolls for a satisfying meal. Consider adding toppings like diced onions, shredded cheese, or pickles to enhance the flavor. For sides, classic potato chips or a refreshing coleslaw complement the dish well.
