Michigan-Style Hot Dogs
Ingredients
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced, divided
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 (11 ounce) package hot dog buns
  • 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard, or to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by placing hot dogs in a large, deep pot to create a flavorful base for your dish.
2
Submerge the hot dogs in water and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
3
Cover the pot with a lid and let it sit for an extended period of time, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4
In a large skillet, heat it over high heat until it reaches a medium-high temperature.
5
Add the ground beef to the skillet and stir in half of the diced onions, cooking until the meat is fully cooked and no longer pink, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
6
Meanwhile, combine water, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder in a bowl, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
7
Remove the cooked ground beef from the skillet, draining off any excess liquid.
8
Return the ground beef to the skillet and stir in the reserved ketchup mixture, reducing heat to a low simmer.
9
Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
10
Prepare hot dog buns by placing a hot dog in each one.
11
Top the hot dogs with the beef mixture, dividing it evenly to create a balanced flavor profile.
12
Finish by sprinkling the remaining diced onions on top of the beef mixture and serving with a side of mustard.
