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.

Steps

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

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

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

When beef has browned, add tomato paste and stir until well incorporated.
5

Add remaining ingredients and simmer at least 2 hours.
6

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