Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 3/4 cups ketchup
1/4 cup white sugar (can use a 1/2 &1/2 mixture of white and brown sugar)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Place the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring to crumble, until beef is browned. Drain. Transfer the beef and onion to a slow cooker and stir in the ketchup, sugar, vinegar and mustard. Season with celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt. Cover and simmer on Low setting for a few hours before serving.
* put the cooked hamburger in a processor or use a hand blender to finely crumble, to give this sauce a real Coney consistency. This sauce can be made head as the flavors truly come through after setting. Top hotdogs with sauce, mustard and chopped onion. This sauce is not spicey like a chili sauce would be so for those of you who like a little heat add a little chili powder (or a lot:)
