Coney Dogs
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 cups water, or as needed
  • 3/4 cup diced onion, divided
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder, or more to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 8 all-beef hot dogs
  • 8 hot dog buns
  • 1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard, or to taste
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients and materials.
2
Combine ground beef, water, 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion, ketchup, melted butter, minced garlic, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, celery salt, and a pinch of heat with each other in a large cooking vessel. Use a potato masher or spatula to blend the mixture thoroughly over medium-high heat until it reaches a smooth, almost uniform texture and starts to bubble, taking about 10 minutes.
3
Transfer the beef mixture to a low-heat simmering state and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and reduces significantly, lasting around 1 hour. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
4
Fill a large container with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Cook the hot dogs in the boiling water until they are heated through, taking 5 to 7 minutes.
5
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Arrange the hot dog buns on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake the buns in the preheated oven until they become soft and warm, taking 2 to 3 minutes.
6
Place one hot dog bun on a serving plate. Place a cooked hot dog inside the bun and top it with the meat sauce. Drizzle yellow mustard over the meat sauce, followed by a portion of the remaining finely chopped onion. Repeat this process with the remaining hot dogs.
