Detroit Coney Dog
INGREDIENTS
1 large white onion, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/4 pounds ground beef chuck
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp celery salt
1 pkg (of 8) hot dogs
1 pkg (of 8) hot dog buns
mustard
DIRECTIONS
- Dice up the large white onion. Reserve 1/3 of it and mince it up really fine for topping the coney dogs. Add the remaining two-thirds diced onion to a pot with a tablespoon of olive oil and sweat those until soft. Throw in the two cloves of minced garlic and cook for a minute.
- Add the ground beef, break it up pretty good so it's in very small pieces. Stir occasionally until fully cooked. Add in the spices, the can of tomato sauce, stir and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Boil, grill, microwave or pan-sear the eight hot dogs until warmed through-out. Serve the hot dogs in warmed buns, top with desired amount of chili, mustard and minced onion.
