MICHIGAN HOT DOG
This regional specialty has a unique sauce which is typically slightly chunkier and thicker than most hot dog sauces. You'll often find this served on top-split buns, but regular hot dog buns will work. There are many versions of this sauce, but this is the way we like ours.

Steps:
- Brown ground beef and 1/3 cup onion in a large skillet over medium heat, until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, and return the skillet to the stove.
- Stir tomato sauce and ketchup into the ground beef mixture. Add chili powder, vinegar, garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. If sauce gets too thick, add water to thin it out.
- Meanwhile steam or simmer hot dogs in hot water until hot.
- Assemble hot dogs: Place a hot dog in a bun and spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining onions and drizzle with yellow mustard.

GRANDMA SLATTERY'S MICHIGAN SAUCE
This is a Meat Sauce from Upstate New York that is used on top of Hot Dogs. When I grew up it was used on steamed hot dogs and steamed rolls, sometimes with raw onions (for those who like them) on top! Very good... thanks Grandma Slattery for getting the recipe!
