Pool Room Hot Dogs

1 pound ground beef
water -- as needed
salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder -- or to taste
1 package hot dogs -- cooked or grilled
1 package hot dog buns -- steamed
chopped onion -- as needed
mustard -- as needed

In a heavy cast iron skillet bring meat and water, enough to keep
from sticking, to a simmer. Break up the meat into fine particles, as fine as you can get it.

Add seasonings and mix well. Cover and cook until almost dry. Do not let it burn.

Serve over a steamed weiner, in a steamed soft bun with onions and mustard, if desired.
