GRANDMA SLATTERY'S MICHIGAN SAUCE

Grandma Slattery's Michigan Sauce image

This is a Meat Sauce from Upstate New York that is used on top of Hot Dogs. When I grew up it was used on steamed hot dogs and steamed rolls, sometimes with raw onions (for those who like them) on top! Very good... thanks Grandma Slattery for getting the recipe!
