Coney Island Hot Dog Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

A classic Coney Island hot dog features an all-beef frank in a soft bun, smothered in a savory, meaty chili sauce, diced onions, and yellow mustard.

Ingredients

• 8 all-beef hot dogs
• 8 hot dog buns
• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup diced white onion (for topping)
• Yellow mustard (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the finely chopped onion and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
2. Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, pepper, and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until thickened. Keep warm.
3. Grill or boil the hot dogs according to package directions. If grilling, cook over medium heat until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. If boiling, simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in a toaster.
5. Place each hot dog in a bun. Spoon a generous amount of chili sauce over the top. Sprinkle with diced white onion and drizzle with yellow mustard.
6. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For a spicier chili, add more cayenne or a dash of hot sauce.
• Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
• Traditional Coney dogs are often served with a side of French fries.
