RE: The Most Versatile Coney Sauce You'll Ever Make: The Red Lion Red Hot Coney Sauce
I will have to give this a try! I grew up in Cincinnati, and so my idea of "the best coney sauce" is going to be very different, but I can get into the best coney sauce that is NOT from Skyline Chili lol!
So you know what Skyline Chili is?....I see it here in cans for almost five bucks a can. I've never had much luck with canned chili so I haven't opted to want to pay five bucks and end up not liking it. The Flint Coney sauce is the bomb, when I use to go to Flint I'd have people asking me to bring it back by the pint for them. My best guess is it's made with some sort of corned beef mixed in it, it's just so fantastic.
I've made the Red Lion coney sauce like three times since I got the secret recipe, the American Fries which I throw onions in while frying, with the coney sauce and a heaping handful of cheese has always been one of my favorites. Living alone now though does pose a problem when deciding making meals and not having so much left you have to eat it for days, some foods will tend to freeze well others not so much so instead I'll opt to try and organize where if I make the coney sauce I'll do the American fries a couple days a week, then chili dogs rotating with another dish like spaghetti which is another one where you have this whole jar of sauce and use only half of it and need only a couple of slices of garlic bread, so since I was craving spaghetti for some strange reason I opted to alternate the coney stuff with spaghetti and did what I called trash can subs with the rest of the garlic bread. It all worked out, going to do a post about my trash can subs...lol.
yeah. Cincinnati had 3 Greek chili chains, Gold Star, Empress and Skyline. Cincinnati folks can get drunk and argue all night about which is best, but Skyline is my favorite. There is a pretty good copy cat recipe here, if you are curious, and if you ever see this reply lol!
And the lady is right, Montgomery Inn for ribs, LaRosa's for pizza and Graeter's ice cream are the other highlights of Cincy cuisine!

Outside of using tomato sauce instead of paste, no cholcolate, red pepper flakes or apple cider vinegar that is exactly the ingredients I use to make my chili. That is so weirdly close. I'd paid five bucks for a can of this to end up telling myself this almost taste like mine. lol. I am definitely on this one though, who'd thought chocolate in chili. I was going to make the Red Lion chili soon and post up that recipe but I think I will do this one first because I can't wait to try it. I can always make the other one next month and make a post. Sometime this week I am going to do a Walking Dead bake. I was watching the news the other night and they were saying that canned goods are good for years as long as there is no dents in the cans, and jars are properly sealed and have no cracks. When cleaning out my stock from the pandemic to restock because most were getting near their best use by dates I found a couple cans of beans and one jar of spaghetti I must have missed that best use was in 2020. So I am conjuring up a walking dead recipe of something out of it...maybe that should be "fear" of the walking dead. Should be quite comical if I survive it. lol. If I don't you'll be the only one who knows what happened to me. lol.
