Traditional Coney Dog Sauce

I love a good coney dog so to be able to make them at home makes me happy. This recipe for Traditional Coney Dog Sauce is made with basic ingredients and is easy to throw together.

I won’t lie, this is an interesting recipe. You don’t brown the hamburger for this recipe, you add it to the crockpot raw and cover it with a mixture of the liquid ingredients. To some extent, the best way I can describe the cooking process is that you are boiling the meat, maybe.

BUT IT WORKS AND IT IS SO FREAKING GOOD!

I love to use my 3-quart crockpot for dishes like this. There is room in it to double the recipe, it’s the perfect size for things such as this.

As you can see in the picture I serve my hot dogs with Kraft Mac and Cheese a lot! But if you want to really out-do yourself these taste super good with my Almost Award Winning Mac and Cheese or my Creamy Crock Pot Mac and Cheese!

This is a great recipe for pitch-ins. Stays warm in the crockpot for travel and the hotdogs cook right in the sauce in no time while soaking up all the coney sauce flavor!

Ingredients

  

• 1 pound hamburger I use a leaner hamburger for this, less fat to skim off as it cooks
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1/4-1/2 cup dried onions
• 1 cup water
• 6-8 dashes Red Hot or Tabasco optional
• 1-2 Tablespoons chili powder

Instructions

 

• Place the pound of ground beef (yes raw) into the bottom of your crock pot and kind of smash and separate into chunks.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine then pour over the raw hamburger in the crockpot.
• Turn the crockpot onto low, cover and allow to cook for 4-5 hours.
• Stir the meat mixture every now and then, skimming off any fat that may be settled on top.
• When done and ready to serve you can add your hotdogs to the picture to cook them or serve them cooked on the side!
• This recipe is really super good the next day and re-warmed so it's a great recipe to make ahead.

Notes

You can make this on the stove top as well. You will just want to cook it on low heat and stir more often. 

Same steps as above - you will want to add the liquid mixture to the pan with raw hamburger.
