Christines Thick Hot Dog Meat Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cooking over medium heat brown the ground beef with the garlic cloves and dried minced onion.
• Do not drain.
• Once the ground beef has completely browned add the tomato sauce, mustard, ketchup, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar to the ground beef stirring till combined.
• Then stir in the paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder stirring until combined.
• Continue cooking on medium heat until thick.

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; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, 60 to 90 minutes, until the sauce reaches a medium consistency that is not too soupy.

Steps:

• Brown beef slowly but thoroughly, breaking with a fork until fine.
• Add remaining ingredients; simmer uncovered 10 minutes. Makes sauce for about 12 coney dogs.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Carefully crumble beef into water. Add onion. Boil until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until heated through. Serve over hot dogs in buns.

Steps:

• Brown beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain fat; cool mixture slightly. Place in food processor; pulse until mixture is finely crumbled, about 5 or 6 pulses. Return meat to skillet; stir in garlic. Cook for 3 minutes.
• Pour the ketchup and barbeque sauce into the skillet. Stir in the chili powder, mustard, pepper, salt, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and water. Cook, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season sauce with additional salt, if necessary.

Steps:

• Brown the beef and drain.
• If you are using whole spices/herbs, which I prefer for this, add all to a mortar and pestle them into a fine powder. If you are using ground spices/herbs, just mix them all together in a bowl and set aside. Note that you'll need more than the measurements listed above if you're using whole spices like allspice and cloves. In the end you want the ground quantities to roughly match the amounts listed in the ingredient list. None of these measurements is super critical. After you make this, you'll likely tweak the spices to suit your taste anyway.
• In the beef browning pan, make a roux by cooking the flour with either 1 tablespoon of the beef fat or butter. I've done it both ways, couldn't tell the difference.
• Add the roux to a 4qt saucepan over medium low heat. Dump the beef/water mix in there. Add the spice mixture, vinegar, and tomato paste and whisk until it's all blended.
• Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for an hour or two, stirring occasionally to keep the meat from settling to the bottom of the pan and burning.
• Finally, grind it up a bit right in the saucepan using a stick/immersion blender. You don't want to go too far with this and make a milkshake, we're just trying to break down some of the big chunks so that the result is like finely ground beef.
