Grandpa's Classic Coney Dogs

Grandpa's Classic Coney Dogs

Coney Dog on the right.

1 lb ground chuck
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 cup minced onion
3/4 cup catsup
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp white vinegar
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
1/4 tsp celery seed
Splash Worcestershire sauce
6 hot dogs, grilled or pan-fried and kept hot
6 hot dog buns, toasted if desired
Shredded Cheddar, if desired

Place the ground chuck in a large skillet and cook, stirring until browned and finely crumbled.  Drain. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.  Cook over low heat for at least 20 minutes.

Place the hot dogs in the buns and top with the Coney sauce.  Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar if desired.  Go Patriots!

This was OK....but a little too sweet for my tastes.  And it could definitely use some spicing up! Probably would never make this again.

1/4 cup butter
1 large Walla Walla or other sweet onion, thinly sliced
4-oz cream cheese, softened
4 hot dogs, or your favorite sausages
4 hot dog buns
Brown  Mustard

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.  Add the onions and cook slowly until they soften and turn deep brown, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, grill or pan-fry the hot dogs and toast the buns.

Spread the softened cream cheese on the buns, top with the grilled hot dogs, onions and brown mustard and serve!  Go Seahawks!  It's Super Bowl Sunday after all!

These were delicious!  This may become my go-to hot dog, cause I really liked them!

Coney Island Hot Dogs

Coney Island Hot Dogs

1 lb ground chuck
1/3 cup water
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup catsup
1/8 cup sugar
1/8 cup vinegar
1/8 cup yellow mustard
1/4 tsp celery seed
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Cooked Hot Dogs
Buns

Cook the ground chuck, salt & pepper and onions in a skillet with the 1/3 cup water until finely crumbled and browned. Once the water has evaporated and the meat is browned, add the remaining ingredients, reduce heat and simmer at least 20 minutes. Serve over hot dogs in buns.

I always assumed that a Coney Island Hot Dog was just another name for Chili Dog...until I found this recipe on allrecipes.com (Grandpa's Classic Coney Sauce). I think I like this better than Chili Dogs! It's very tasty and I'll definitely make it again...probably in the slow cooker since the original recipe calls for cooking it several hours.
