Hot dogs might be an American classic, but each of us has our own regional favorite that we’ll defend against all others. Make this Coney Island hot dogs recipe and you’ll be rooting for Detroit. It’s the meat sauce that sets this tasty hot dog apart.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Dash cayenne pepper
• 8 hot dogs
• 8 hot dog buns, split
• Optional toppings: Shredded cheddar cheese, relish, mustard and chopped onion

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook the ground beef sauce in a skillet: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat for six to eight minutes until it’s no longer pink. The texture should be crumbly. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the tomato sauce, some water, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion and the remaining seasonings. Editor’s Tip: You can use beef or chicken stock instead of water to build the meat sauce.
2. 2Slow-cook the sauce: Place the hot dogs in a slow cooker. Top them with the ground beef mixture. Cook, covered, on low for four to five hours or until heated through. Serve on buns with toppings as desired.
