Coney Island Chili Dog Fall Recipe

Hola Amigos! Is your family a sport junkie family? Do you Tailgate? Do you gather around your big screen with friends to watch the Sunday games? This is the season for that and for sport related snacks. This is a very simple post about a humble food, the Coney  Dog! I live in a state where Coney Dogs and Hockey are taken very seriously! To the point that two restaurants, side by side of each other claim to have the best Coney Dogs in Detroit. Lafayette Coney Island and American Coney Island, I'm sure you have seen this well known "friendly fight" on shows like Food Wars and Man vs Food, but since neither of these TV shows or restaurants are sponsoring my post I would leave it there and move on to the recipe.

This here is my (not Mi)  version of a Coney Dog (chili dog). It has very little in common with what you will probably get a  Coney Restaurant, but that is the point of this post. Take a classic, make it the way  your family likes it and Own It!...soon you won't be eating out at all, more money for that game trip to the baseball field, football stadium or hockey arena.

This recipe is cooked on a crock pot to make it even easier! I really love my crock pot, makes everything so easy and since it's cooked over time and low heat everything melts giving it the typical chili consistency to the recipe.No big chunks here.

Use the hot dog of your liking. We like to hear the "Snap"! so we get the ones with natural casing, 100% beef at our local butcher shop ( I live in a small town )

It's still looks like an original Coney...with onions and mustard, but the chili and sauce is what makes the difference.

We were having an almost summer like weather here,  all of the sudden BUM! Fall!!! It went from 81 to 60 overnight!!! So guess what we are having for dinner?
Thank you for visiting the blog today! Would love to hear what is your favorite way to eat a Coney? I found mine, have you found yours yet?

Besitos,

New Mexico Chile con Carne Recipe

I am not to happy with the translation of this Spanish saying into English but that is all I was able come up with  when I looked it up! A literal translation would be Full tummy, happy heart, but still that is not the real meaning of the phrase.  For us it means that when your tummy is full with  delicious things, made with LoVe your heart is happy too...as you can see it has noting to do with being Fat or Full, LOL love is what fills you up and brings happiness to your heart and mind

Anyway, as the days get colder we need something to bring  warmth to our bodies with ingredients easy to grab, put together and with a big impact in our taste buds! Comfort food...Not much fuss to prepare it, but oh...so good to eat!

What does "Comfort Food" means to you? Is it the earthy ingredients like onions and garlic?..when cooked together the aroma is out of this world!

Is it the extra something something....like cheese and cream? They give food that kick of richness that melts in our mouth...

Or is it that particular recipe that transport you back to your mom's kitchen? Back in the days that someone else was doing the cooking, running around, dishes and cleaning? LOL...Those were the good ol' days for sure!

Whatever it is for you, I believe my New Mexico recipe for Chile con Carne does just that...Just a few ingredients, some earthy, some rich, a kitchen full of good food aromas and  this time done in only 30 minutes and hopefully little cleaning after everybody is satisfied!

New Mexico Chile con Carne

1 lb.ground beef

1 clove garlic, minced

1 15-oz can pinto beans with chile seasoning

1 envelope dry onion soup 

1 cup tomato sauce

1/4 tsp oregano

Brown meat and garlic. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 30 minutes.Stir frequently.

You could serve this with tortilla chips, warm flour tortillas or rice.

Cheese and Sour Cream are optional

 Hope you enjoy this fast recipe for your cold fall and winter evenings! I can assure you, it will hit the spot!!! Remember every thing tastes better with a pinch of LoVe.

Besitos,

Lizy
