Would you believe I made this Coney Island Hot Dog Recipe 4 times to get it how I wanted it? Let’s just say my family has had their fill of coney dogs for the next little while. (Me, on the other hand? I don’t think I could ever get sick of them!!)

What is a Coney Island Hot Dog?

I have read article after article online about traditional coney island hot dogs, and I am convinced that no one will ever agree on what a “true” coney island hot dog recipe is. And that’s ok by me. I’ve never been to Coney Island, and I’ve never had an authentic coney island hot dog. And I find it funny that it doesn’t seem like they even originated on Coney Island – but from Greek and Macedonian immigrants in Michigan.

One thing that everyone will agree on, though, is something that sets a coney island hot dog apart from a chili dog – the sauce is an all meat sauce. No beans.

I do love a good chili dog (with beans!) but you won’t find that same sauce on a coney dog.

Another thing that distinguishes a coney dog is serving it topped with onions and mustard.

How to Make the Coney Sauce

• Start by browning the ground beef and onion.
• Add your spices, followed by the tomato sauce, water, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Simmer the mixture until it is thickened, about 20 minutes.

What to serve with Coney Island Hot Dogs
