FLINT CONEY ISLAND HOT DOG SAUCE



Flint Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce image

This was published in the Flint Journal some time after the death of the man who created it. His wife allowed it to be published. There was some discrepancy over the use of beef heart or hot dogs as a main ingredient. I use hot dogs but feel free to experiment with beef heart. This was the cornerstone recipe for several local restaurants in the Flint area where I grew up and is a favorite memory of many who were raised here.

Time 45m

Yield 1 Pot

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon margarine
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
2 medium onions, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (6 ounce) can water
12 ounces skinless hot dogs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • DO NOT brown ground beef before using. Combine ALL ingredients except hot dogs in a pot and simmer until thickened. Stir occasionally to ensure beef does not clump and cooks evenly.
  • Grind the hot dogs very fine (or chop fine in food processor) stir into beef mixture and cook 15 minutes longer.
  • Use over GOOD natural casing hot dogs (Koegel Vienna if possible) with chopped onion and mustard. The big secret in this recipe is the ground hot dogs. (Hint: Back home, I still used the Koegels' in the sauce, just the skinless ones).

Time 1h15m

ground chuck
1/3 lb pepperoni, finely ground (this can be easily done in a food processor)
3 tablespoons white onions, grated on microplane
1 tablespoon kosher salt

16 ounces tomato paste
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup v 8 juice
1/4 cup finely ground cornmeal

Steps:

  • Brown ground chuck in a skillet. Drain approximately half the residual oil. Add ground pepperoni and grated onion and brown for another minute or two.
  • 2.
  • combine in kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, celery seed, cayenne and combine to meat mixture.
  • 3.
  • Reduce heat and add tomato paste, liquid smoke and V8 juice and bring to a simmer.
  • 4.
  • When chili has come to a low bubbling simmer, add cornmeal and cook low and slow for another 15 minutes.

FLINTS ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND SAUCE



Flints Original Coney Island Sauce image

Flint is known for all their coney island places, and they have the best sauce in the country. Kogel Viennas are the ONLY hotdog! Mom saved this from the Flint Journal in 1978 and we have made it ever since. It makes a big batch, so I freeze what is left in meal size portions for 2-3 people. Sometimes I even make a double...

GRAM'S FLINT CONEY ISLAND SAUCE



Gram's Flint Coney Island Sauce image

This sauce is one of many recipes claiming originallity from the various "original Flint Coney Island Dog" restaurants throughout the Flint area. The basic difference between this and the New York "Coney Island Sauce" is that the Flint version is a much drier version than the wet New York style. This recipe's history was that it was obtained ingredient by ingredient from a freind of my wife's grandmother who worked at one of the "original" Coney Island restaurants... as with many of these types of foods... this recipe is a "SECRET."

FLINT'S ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND



Flint's Original Coney Island image

I've lived in Flint, Michigan my entire life, and I was brought up on Coneys. The recipe has always been kept "top secret", and every restaurant has a slightly different version. But my friend's grandmother opened and ran one of Flint's top Coney Island restaurants for many years, and she gave me this recipe. The original recipe calls for beef kidney, heart and suet. But guess what? That's what hot dogs are made from! That's why ground hot dogs are a good substitution. I've tried and tasted many copycat recipes for Coney sauce, but I'm convinced that this one is the best. Coneys are traditionally served using a steamed hot dog bun, a koegel vienna hot dog (any vienna hotdog will do) then topped with the sauce, yellow mustard and finely chopped onions. Yum! The friend also noted that if it tastes like something is missing.. add more cumin. By the way, Koegel Viennas are now available to order online!
