FLINT CONEY ISLAND HOT DOG SAUCE

Steps:

• DO NOT brown ground beef before using. Combine ALL ingredients except hot dogs in a pot and simmer until thickened. Stir occasionally to ensure beef does not clump and cooks evenly.
• Grind the hot dogs very fine (or chop fine in food processor) stir into beef mixture and cook 15 minutes longer.
• Use over GOOD natural casing hot dogs (Koegel Vienna if possible) with chopped onion and mustard. The big secret in this recipe is the ground hot dogs. (Hint: Back home, I still used the Koegels' in the sauce, just the skinless ones).
