Authentic Coney Dog Sauce
Authentic ingredients as in the original recipes brought to Indiana & Michigan by the Macedonians in the early 20th century. This copycat coney sauce is based on the taste of the old Bear's Den drive-in coney dogs in Shelbyville, Indiana.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Marketside organic, grass-fed ground beef
- 1 large Marketside organic onion, finely diced or grated
- 1 9 oz Great Value organic tomato paste (1-1/2 cans)
- 1 9 oz spring or filtered water
- 5 tbsp Frontier Co-op Organic Chili Powder
- 1 tbsp Watkins Gourmet Organic Ground Cumin
- 1/2-1 tsp The Spice Way Allspice, to taste
- 1 tbsp Great Value organic minced garlic
- 2 tbsp Great Value organic, prepared yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Whitehouse organic cider vinegar
- 2 pkgs Simply Nature organic uncured beef hotdogs or Butterball turkey franks, ground in food processor
Instructions
- Put everything except for hotdogs in a large skillet. Do NOT brown and drain ground beef first. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring to break up meat into fine crumbles. Lower heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Add ground up hotdogs and cook for another 15 minutes. This sauce shouldn't be runny.
- Serve on your favorite hotdogs and buns with optional toppings like diced onions or shredded cheddar.
