Ingredients:

• 3 lbs ground beef
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 qt ketchup
• 14 cups water
• 6 tbsp flour

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ground Meat:

   • In a 4-quart pan, brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
   • Once cooked, chop the beef into fine pieces.
   • Drain off any excess grease from the cooked meat.

2. Add Spices:

   • Incorporate each spice individually into the cooked meat, stirring well after adding each one.
   • After adding all the spices, the mixture should achieve a paste-like consistency.

3. Integrate Ketchup and Water:

   • Stir in the ketchup until well combined with the seasoned meat.
   • Gradually pour in the water while continuing to stir the mixture thoroughly.

4. Simmer the Sauce:

   • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, ensuring to stir constantly to prevent burning.
   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and develop.

5. Thicken the Sauce:

   • In a separate bowl, mix the flour with enough water to form a smooth paste.
   • Gradually add the flour-water mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
   • For a smoother consistency, blend the flour-water mixture in a blender before incorporating it into the sauce.

6. Final Touches:

   • Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
   • Allow the chili sauce to cool slightly before serving or storing.
   • Any excess sauce can be stored in airtight containers and frozen for future use.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Generously ladle the chili sauce over grilled hot dogs nestled in steamed buns.
   • Top with pickles and onions for an authentic hot dog shop experience.
   • This savory chili sauce also elevates the flavor of fries, making it a versatile condiment for various dishes.
