Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings, as necessary.

    Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in onion, garlic and seasoning rub. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add beef stock, tomato sauce, tomatoes, masa harina and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat; cook 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.

    Serve sauce on its own or as a topping for your favorite burger, baked potato or pasta.

The Essential Ingredients

  • Ground Beef: Also called ‘hamburger,’ it’s made by grinding beef cuts and beef trim. It works well in dishes that require crumbles, and typically any leanness of Ground Beef works well in dishes – just be sure to drain any remaining fat after cooking.
  • Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles: Canned ingredient with chopped tomato and medley spiced green chile. The tomatoes are picked at peak ripeness, canned, and mixed with green chiles for a bit more spice. Best used in tacos, chili, queso, soups and casseroles.
  • Masa Harina: Spanish for dough, this ‘corn flour’ is made from dried corn kernels cooked in limewater, before being ground. It’s a Latin American ingredient popular in recipes like arepas, tamales or tortillas and also serves a a gluten-free option for those that can’t have regular flour.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: This bold and tangy sauce (and condiment) is a blend of vinegar, anchovies, molasses and spices. It’s packed with umami flavor and used to flavor many dishes.

Safe Handling Tips:

  • Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.
  • Separate raw meat from other foods.
  • Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
  • Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
  • Wash all produce prior to use.
  • Cook steaks and roasts until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare, as measured by a meat thermometer, allowing to rest for three minutes.
  • Cook Ground Beef to 160°F as measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Refrigerate leftovers promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What type of ground beef is best for coney sauce?

    It’s all about preference and what you have on hand. We recommend 80/20 ground beef; it provides a great texture and rich flavor.

  2. Can I freeze leftovers?

    Yes, place leftover coney sauce in a freezer-safe container with a tightly fitting lid. Freeze for up to 3 months.

  3. How is coney sauce different from chili?

    Coney sauce is a thin, savory, sauce with ground beef and spices that’s used as a topping… and it doesn’t include beans! Chili often has beans and is a thickened mixture that’s eaten alone, with crackers, cornbread or sprinkled with toppings.

  4. Can I make this sauce ahead of time?

    Yes! You can prepare the coney sauce and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
