FLINT CONEY ISLAND HOT DOG SAUCE
This was published in the Flint Journal some time after the death of the man who created it. His wife allowed it to be published. There was some discrepancy over the use of beef heart or hot dogs as a main ingredient. I use hot dogs but feel free to experiment with beef heart. This was the cornerstone recipe for several local restaurants in the Flint area where I grew up and is a favorite memory of many who were raised here.

Steps:
- DO NOT brown ground beef before using. Combine ALL ingredients except hot dogs in a pot and simmer until thickened. Stir occasionally to ensure beef does not clump and cooks evenly.
- Grind the hot dogs very fine (or chop fine in food processor) stir into beef mixture and cook 15 minutes longer.
- Use over GOOD natural casing hot dogs (Koegel Vienna if possible) with chopped onion and mustard. The big secret in this recipe is the ground hot dogs. (Hint: Back home, I still used the Koegels' in the sauce, just the skinless ones).
FLINT'S ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND
I've lived in Flint, Michigan my entire life, and I was brought up on Coneys. The recipe has always been kept "top secret", and every restaurant has a slightly different version. But my friend's grandmother opened and ran one of Flint's top Coney Island restaurants for many years, and she gave me this recipe. The original recipe calls for beef kidney, heart and suet. But guess what? That's what hot dogs are made from! That's why ground hot dogs are a good substitution. I've tried and tasted many copycat recipes for Coney sauce, but I'm convinced that this one is the best. Coneys are traditionally served using a steamed hot dog bun, a koegel vienna hot dog (any vienna hotdog will do) then topped with the sauce, yellow mustard and finely chopped onions. Yum! The friend also noted that if it tastes like something is missing.. add more cumin. By the way, Koegel Viennas are now available to order online!

FLINTS ORIGINAL CONEY ISLAND SAUCE
Flint is known for all their coney island places, and they have the best sauce in the country. Kogel Viennas are the ONLY hotdog! Mom saved this from the Flint Journal in 1978 and we have made it ever since. It makes a big batch, so I freeze what is left in meal size portions for 2-3 people. Sometimes I even make a double...

Steps:
- 1. Combine all ingredients except hotdogs in a large saucepan. DO NOT brown ground chuck first!
- 2. Simmer until thickened about 45-60 minutes. You can break up the beef while it is simmering.
- 3. Grind the hotdogs and add to the sauce. Make sure they are finely ground or minced fine. Cook for 15 minutes. Ready to finish off your favorite hotdogs, or serve over french fries covered in cheese!
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh onions, and crisp celery.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are softened.
- Use a good quality beef stock: The beef stock is the backbone of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a stock that is made with real beef bones and vegetables.
- Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder.
- Let the sauce cool before serving: The sauce will thicken as it cools, so let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
