Original Greek Coney Sauce From the kitchen of Kevin Taylor, the BBQ Guru I am a Coney dog aficionado. More than once I have opted for a Coney dog over a nice steak. I have tried dozens of Coney sauces and this one is by far my favorite. Our house always has a good supply of this in the freezer...even Kate likes this one! 1 pound ground beef 1 cup shortening 1 medium onion, diced 1/3 cup chili powder 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon cumin powder 1 teaspoon allspice 1 teaspoon basil, dried 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Brown beef, onion and shortening. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 2 hours. You may have to add some water. This freezes well.
