Description

These Michigan-style hot dogs are topped with a flavorful ground beef mixture and served on buns, and are perfect for summer parties.

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

Directions

1 Place hot dogs in a large stockpot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn heat off, cover, and let sit.
2 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and half of the diced onions. Cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, making sure to break into fine pieces, about 5 to 8 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, whisk water, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder until smooth.
4 Drain ground beef mixture and return to the skillet. Stir in reserved ketchup mixture, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
5 Place hot dogs in buns. Top hot dogs with beef mixture. Divide remaining onions on top of the beef mixture and garnish with mustard.
