New York System Weiners

You will need to live in Rhode Island to even know what these are. This recipe will make a lot of wieners. Make the whole batch and freeze what you don’t use for another time.

Ingredients:

• 1 Pound 80/20 ground beef. Fine ground is best.
• 2 Tablespoons oil (a little more if you have leaner hamburg)
• 1 Tablespoon chili powder
• 1 Tablespoon celery salt
• Enough water to cover
• Weiners and wiener buns
• Toppings needed:
  -Yellow mustard
  -Finely chopped white onion
  -Celery salt

Directions:

Break up hamburger and place in a medium saucepan with the oil, water and spices. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.

To serve: Cook the wieners on a flat pan, but do not brown. Steam the buns so they are soft and warm (in the microwave is fine). Place a wiener in a warm bun. Top with a little yellow mustard, a spoonful of wiener sauce, some chopped onion and a sprinkle of celery salt.
