Categories     Sauces

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef, soak in water for 2 hours
1 cup shortening (the 1 cup of shortening is NOT a misprint)
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 oregano, dried

Steps:

  • PREPARATION:.
  • To get the right consistency, cover the meat with water and soak, in the fridge, for 2 hours.
  • Then take a fork and break up any remaining chunks.
  • Drain the water and go on to browning.
  • You will have some water while browning but it will slowly steam off.
  • Brown beef, onion and shortening.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer for 2 hours.
  • You may have to add some water.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the sauce so that you have plenty of room to stir and prevent splattering.
  • Be patient when simmering the sauce. It takes time for the flavors to develop, so don't rush the process.
  • Taste the sauce as it simmers and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more chili powder, cumin, or garlic, depending on your preferences.
  • If you like a chunky sauce, leave the ground beef in large pieces. If you prefer a smoother sauce, break up the ground beef into smaller pieces before cooking.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over hot dogs, hamburgers, or fries. You can also use it as a dip for appetizers or vegetables.
