How to Make Coney Hot Dog Sauce

  1. Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the browned ground beef, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, or cayenne pepper for heat.
  6. Let cool slightly before transferring to airtight containers. This recipe yields approximately 8-10 one-cup servings.
