Campton pool room hot dog chili

My uncle E.C. worked in a pool room in my home town of Campton Ky for a few years back in the 1960's. He took customers money and they served some food, one of them chili dogs. He made the chili and my dad and Uncle Ken learned the recipe. It is very good and is great to cook at deer camp or anytime you want something simple.

1. One pound of ground beef or chuck or deer meat, put in pan with a little water and crumble meat with fork as it browns and add a little salt as it cooks. { drain of excess fat if you use a cheaper cut}

2. Add one small can of tomato sauce and stir in, while it simmers add chili powder. I just sprinkle over lightly and taste add more until you are satisfied.

3. Simmer most all the fluid off until it reaches a consistency you like

4. While chili simmers place hot dogs in pan of water and boil until done

5. place dog in bun cover with chili , onions and mustard

6. optional a roll of Tums or Rolaids use as necessary, how many depends on how much chili powder you like

That is Campton pool room hot dog chili . My Uncle Ken said you could get two dogs and a Ale 8

for fifty cents.
