Michigan Hot Dog
Description
A Michigan hot dog is served with a unique meat sauce that is a bit chunkier and thicker than most hot dog sauces.
Ingredients
•
1 pound ground beef
•
2/3 cup finely chopped onion, divided
•
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
•
1/3 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
Directions
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
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
Meanwhile steam or simmer hot dogs in hot water until hot.
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.
