Saucy Hot Dogs Food

HOT DOG SAUCE

Steps:

• Crumble ground beef into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in water, and mash ground beef thoroughly with a potato masher. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, sugar, and chili powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Reduce heat to low; simmer, 60 to 90 minutes, until the sauce reaches a medium consistency that is not too soupy.

SAUCY BBQ HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Combine sauce ingredients in a medium-sized sauce pot. When sauce is combined and sugar is dissolved (don't quite bring to a boil) remove from heat and set aside.
• Add hot dogs to slow cooker and pour sauce over. Stir to evenly distribute the sauce. Cook on high heat for about 2 hours (don't discard the sauce-- you may want to pour extra over your hot dogs before eating).
• Remove hot dogs from slow cooker and grill on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes or so on each side or until desired doneness (I like mine just to have light grill marks).
• Add hot dogs to hot dog buns and top with desired toppings and extra sauce.

NYC-STYLE HOT DOGS WITH STREET-CART ONIONS

Steps:

• First, make the onions. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low-medium heat and cook the onions for 10-12 mins until golden and slightly charred in spots.
• Stir in the cinnamon, chilli powder, honey, mustard, ketchup, tomato purée, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 2-3 tbsp water and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 1-2 mins until the onions are saucy, adding a splash more water if they seem dry. Taste and add a little more chilli powder, mustard or a pinch of sugar, if you like. Keep the onions warm if you're serving straightaway or cool and chill. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat over a low heat before serving, adding a splash of water to loosen as needed.
• Light a barbecue and wait until the coals are ashen, set a gas barbecue to medium or heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Alternatively, bring a pan of water to a simmer. Cook the frankfurters for 15 mins on the barbecue or in a griddle pan until charred, or for 8 mins in a pan of simmering water. If using a barbecue, warm the buns over the coals, if you like. Spoon a little sauerkraut into each bun, top with a frankfurter and spoon over the onions. Drizzle over some extra mustard and ketchup.

HOW TO MAKE HOT DOG CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a Dutch oven or large heavy-duty saucepan one-third full of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and mash with a potato masher as it cooks, until it is cooked through and no longer pink. Add beef to a colander and drain water. Return beef to pan.
• Add all remaining ingredients to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching.
• Serve over cooked hot dogs and top with onions and shredded cheddar cheese, if desired!
