ground chuck
1/3 lb pepperoni, finely ground (this can be easily done in a food processor)
3 tablespoons white onions, grated on microplane
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
16 ounces tomato paste
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup v 8 juice
1/4 cup finely ground cornmeal

Steps:

Brown ground chuck in a skillet. Drain approximately half the residual oil. Add ground pepperoni and grated onion and brown for another minute or two.
2.
combine in kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, celery seed, cayenne and combine to meat mixture.
3.
Reduce heat and add tomato paste, liquid smoke and V8 juice and bring to a simmer.
4.
When chili has come to a low bubbling simmer, add cornmeal and cook low and slow for another 15 minutes.
5.
Ladle over hotdogs or grilled burgers. This is a welcome sauce for grated sharp cheddar cheese and minced onions, but a true Coney Dog uses classic yellow mustard and a sprinkling of onions.
