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.

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