Finally, Gitta Wombwell of Goose Creek sends a recipe from upstate New York "that is served in all the hot dog and hamburger places. This is great on hot dogs, hamburgers and steak sandwiches. I wish it were available in our local restaurants. It's always a hit at my house when I serve it to guests who have never had it. This is fairly spicy and can be changed to suit your tastes by adjusting peppers and chili powder."

Brown ground beef. Add dry ingredients, mixing well. Add water and tomato sauce; simmer for 2-3 hours until desired consistency. Thanks also to Mary F.
