Hot dogs at home never seem to taste as good as the ones we can get at a local hot dog stand. You know, the ones with the steamed buns that are wrapped in the white paper - and the paper turns orange from the chili.... yum! This recipe isn't about quality ingredients or nutrition, (let's face it, eating a hot dog is never about nutrition) but it is about getting that "hot dog stand" flavor at home.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lbground beef
  2. 1 (12 oz)package hot dogs (the red kind, Jesse Jones, Curtis)
  3. 1large sweet onion
  4. 2 tspground cumin
  5. 1 tbspworcestershire sauce
  6. 1 cantomato paste (6 oz)
  7. 3 canwater (use the tomato paste can)

  9. 4 tbspchili powder
  10. 1salt to taste
  11. 3 tbspketchup
  12. 1 tbspwhite vinegar (or lemon juice)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put onions in food processor and grind finely. You want the onions to disappear in the sauce. If you don't have a food processor, grate the onions as finely as possible. Set onions aside.

  2. 2

    Cut up hot dogs and place in food processor. It's OK if there's a little leftover onion still in there! Grind the hot dogs finely to almost a paste consistency. You may need to add some water. If you don't have a food processor, I don't know what to tell you. Grate them as finely as possible.

  3. 3

    Add onions (plus onion juice), ground hot dogs and ground beef into pot over medium heat. Break up the ground beef as much as possible while browning.

  4. 4

    When beef has browned, add tomato paste and stir until well incorporated.

  5. 5

    Add remaining ingredients and simmer at least 2 hours.

  6. 6

    Serve in buns over your favorite hot dogs with condiments of your choice. Our favorites are yellow mustard, onions, chili and coleslaw!
