Steps:

For the BBQ Slaw: Whisk up dressing ingredients in large bowl and toss with cabbage and onion
For the Chili Sauce: Heat a medium skillet or large saucepot over medium-high heat with oil, brown and crumble meat, season with salt and pepper, add onion, garlic, Worcestershire, spices and sugar
Cook beef and onion together, about 5-6 minutes, then add tomato paste, stir, add stock and corn meal, and reduce heat to low and simmer
For the burgers and dogs: For patties, make 6 patties thinner at center than edges for even cooking
Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium high heat
Add oil, 1 turn of the pan and cook patties 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally
For dogs, simmer to heat, then if you want a snap, crisp casings in hot skillet or on a hot griddle
If using, top burgers with cheese, or place cheese on bottom of hot dog bun so it melts
Serve burgers on buns with pickles and raw onion, mustard on bun bottom, and chili and coleslaw on top
Serve dogs in toasted dog rolls with shredded cheese under the dog, mustard, onion, chili and slaw on top
