Tonight we are having Coney Island Hot Dogs for dinner. I just love this recipe and my family does to so that's always good. I found this recipe a couple months back at Cooking with the Preachers Wife. I have been trying to find a good recipe so I gave it a try. I made them while my mother in law was visiting and she couldn't stop talking about this sauce.If you don't know what a Coney Island Dog is you don't know what you are missing. A “Coney Island Hot Dog” is a hot dog topped with a Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce then you add diced onions and mustard on top of that. I like to throw on a little shredded Cheddar cheese as well. This beefy sauce is not a chili sauce like some may think and it doesn't pack any heat at all. It is just a flavorful hamburger sauce for hot dogs.
Some of the recipes I have seen including this one call for ground up hot dogs in the sauce. My family thought that was just strange so I left them out. Feel free to add them if you want the true sauce experience. I thought the sauce tasted fine without them.
This meal is easy to please everyone in my house. Since Carson doesn't like the coney sauce he can just have a plain hot dog with ketchup. My daughter likes ketchup and cheese and everyone else loves the coney sauce. So you see no extra meals to be made. This recipe has become a favorite at our dinner table.
Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce
1 - tablespoon butter
1 - tablespoon margarine
1 1/2 - lbs ground beef
1/2 - 1 medium onion, minced
1 - clove garlic, minced
2 - 3 tablespoons chili powder
1 - tablespoon prepared mustard
1 - (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 1/2 - cups water
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
dash Worcestershire
Salt and pepper to taste
hot dogs and hot dog buns
I browned my meat first in about 1 1/2 cups of water in a pan or pot. This also helps to remove the fat from the hamburger. Make sure to break up the meat as fine as possible (a potato masher works great). I mince up my onion and add it along with the hamburger as it cooks. When the meat is cooked, drain and return to the pot.
Add the garlic and cook for a couple minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except the hot dogs and add the mixture to your crock pot. Turn the crock pot on low and cook for 2 hours. I always start my crock pot on high and then once it gets going I turn to low. I tweaked the sauce up a bit and added brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Serve the Coney sauce on top of cooked hot dogs with diced onions and mustard.
To cook the sauce on the stove, prepare the mixture the same way and just simmer on low for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

I love this- we call them Coney Dogs and there used to be a little cafe downtown that sold them when I was younger. I miss them. Thanks.
I always wondered why Sonic called them coney dogs! Hello!!
Receipe looks fantastic! I'll definitely give it a try!
Do you serve Tums with those dogs??
SOOOOOOO DELISH!
Leslie no need for tums. The coney sauce isnt a spicy sauce or a chili sauce. It is a flavorful beefy hamburger sauce for hot dogs. it is really good.
Yummmm! The only problem is I know my kids would never try it (not with the option of a plain hot dog on a bun - thats for sure!)
This looks very freezer friendly - You could totally put all the work into this once and double or triple it and freeze in ice cube trays or in a muffin tin and have a cooney dog whenever!
My husband loves coney dogs. Guess I'll be making this for him soon :)
oooooo my gosh, i love a good hot dog !!!!!
Yum, I have never made Coney Sauce, I had no idea how. Thanks for sharing.
I'm bookmarking this!!! Oh how I LOVE my hot dogs!! I've never had a coney island but it sounds so good!!! I'm drooling here thinking about this on top of my Ball Park Hot dogs!
Just added to my favorites, to bad tonight's dinner was already planned.
Thanks for the great recipe.
My goodness, my boys would love these. I just came across your website and it's so great (I love that header pic). I look forward to many more visits back.
I made these a couple of days ago and they were a big hit! Thanks for the recipe!
My family loved this sauce. I highly recommend the recipe!
This looks delicious!!
Bless you! This is on our Friday Night Menu and I forgot to buy my sauce. I figured making it would be too hard but obviously not!!! Thanks so much!!
I wish I was having this! Baked chicken for me :(
I am from the Detroit area living in Alabama. No such thing as a coney here. I have been looking for a recipe for a while. Thank you I am trying it this weekend, will stop back to let you know how it turned out.
