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.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
⅔ cup finely chopped onion, divided
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
⅓ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
