MICHIGAN HOT DOG

Michigan Hot Dog image

This regional specialty has a unique sauce which is typically slightly chunkier and thicker than most hot dog sauces. You'll often find this served on top-split buns, but regular hot dog buns will work. There are many versions of this sauce, but this is the way we like ours.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
⅔ cup finely chopped onion, divided
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
⅓ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot®)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
10 hot dog buns
10 all beef hot dogs
5 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard

Steps:

Brown ground beef and 1/3 cup onion in a large skillet over medium heat, until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, and return the skillet to the stove.
Stir tomato sauce and ketchup into the ground beef mixture. Add chili powder, vinegar, garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. If sauce gets too thick, add water to thin it out.
Meanwhile steam or simmer hot dogs in hot water until hot.
Assemble hot dogs: Place a hot dog in a bun and spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining onions and drizzle with yellow mustard.
