How to Make Coney Island Sauce For Gaggers Hot Dogs

  1. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef and 1 medium chopped yellow onion over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 cup of water, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup brown sugar to the skillet.
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it simmers.
  5. Check the consistency; it should be thick, not thin. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid.
  6. To assemble your hot dog: Place a boiled hot dog in a steamed bun. Top with mustard, a generous spoonful of Coney Island sauce, chopped onions, and a sprinkle of celery salt. Enjoy!
