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
  • 0.67 cups finely chopped onion , divided
  • 1 , 15 ounce
  • 0.33 cups 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 hots dog buns
  • 10 alls beef hot dogs
  • 5 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile steam or simmer hot dogs in hot water until hot.

  4. 4

    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.
