hot dog meat sauce

[ricksrealpitbbq]

Does anyone have a recipe for meat sauce for hot dogs ? Kinda like you'd get on a coney island hot dog.

[Mama Mangia]

5 lbs hamburger
2 small onions, finely chopped
64 fluid ounces tomato paste
64 fluid ounces tomato puree
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon celery seed
3 tablespoons salt, plus
1 teaspoon salt


1. Brown hamburger and onions in very large skillet; drain.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer, about 30 minutes uncovered
3. Stir frequently, as it will tend to stick.
4. This freezes well.
5. Serve with dry minced onions rehydrated in boiling water (in addition to the sauce).

[Mama Mangia]

1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
Catsup, as needed

In a salted skillet, brown ground beef with onion over medium heat, breaking up meat with a fork to crumble it fine. Drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients, except catsup. Mix well, then add enough catsup to keep mixture loose. Simmer, partially covered, 1 hour, adding catsup as needed.
Makes enough sauce for 6 to 8 medium hot dogs.

SAUCE:
1 lb. ground beef
2 t. chili powder
2 t. cumin
3 t. paprika
1 t. salt
½ t. ground red pepper
¼ t. black pepper
1 small onion, diced
2 c. water

12 hotdogs
12 hotdog rolls

Combine ground beef and onion in skillet; cook until onions are softened; add remaining ingredients simmer for at least 30 minutes.

Steam or toast rolls, if preferred and cook hotdogs by grilling, frying or boiling.
I preferred boiled, then grilled.

Top hotdogs with sauce and serve.

Here's a recipe I haven't tried yet, but may be worth looking at.

Coney Island Sauce (Flint MI Style)

1 Tbs Butter
1 Tbs Margarine
1 1/2 lbs LEAN ground beef
2 medium Onions, finely chopped
1 Clove minced garlic, or powder
3 Tbs Chili powder
1 Tbs Prepared mustard
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 6 oz can water
10 hot dogs, skinless
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Do NOT brown beef before using!! Combine all except hot dogs and
simmer until thick. Grind up the skinless hot dogs [or chop in food processor]
stir in and cook 15 min longer.

2. Store in fridge or freeze. This recipe should make enough for at least
12-16 dogs

3. Use over GOOD Quality casing type hot dogs Like Koegle's
serve with lots finely chopped onions and yellow mustard. on steamed buns

4. The big secret in this recipe is the ground up hot dogs.

5. I've been told that this is the orignal Flint [Mi] Coney Island sauce.

6. Best around anywhere. I always make it when we have a
"Coney Lunch" at work and keep it simmering in a crock pot.

What makes this "Flint Michigan Style"?

Thanks.

[CanMan]

Because it is a version preferred by people in Flint MI.

Because it is a version preferred by people in Flint MI.

I understand that, but what is the defining characteristics of "Flint Style"?

Is it the ground up hotdogs?

Thanks.

I have absolutely no idea. I'm not from New York or Michigan to know the difference. To me it is a name for a recipe.

[mikeswmi]

I can't post links yet, so I will give credit by saying this is from Chowhound.

" A true Flint style Coney is a Koegels hot dog served on a steamed bun with Coney sauce, onions and mustard only. The key is that Flint style must use the dry, loose meat Coney sauce NOT red sauce or chili sauce and NO beans or sauer kraut. If the dog is served with chili then it’s just a generic Coney dog, Chili dog or in Michigan a Detroit style dog."

I might have well seen or heard this before, but I guess it is probably not that common of a term in SW MI.
