How to Make A W Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce

Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the beef as it cooks.
Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 hours, or until thickened. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 3-4 hours.
For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a regular blender before serving.
Serve over your favorite hot dogs. Garnish with dry minced onions rehydrated in boiling water for a classic Coney Island touch!
