Flint Style Coney Sauce (Red Sauce)
From windy1950 15 years ago
- 60 minutes to make
- Serves 20
Also known as Red Sauce, this is akin to topping a hot dog with chili, but it’s different, and I like it better. And I got it straight from an old Macedonian friend (r.i.p.) who knew about Red Sauce, that he thought it was better, too. Read more Great served with deviled eggs and french fries or onion rings.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck or round shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, crushed shopping list
- 1 Tbsp ground cumin, or more shopping list
- 1 Tbsp paprika shopping list
- 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce shopping list
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped shopping list
- salt, to taste shopping list
- black pepper, to taste shopping list
- 1 Tbsp prepared mustard shopping list

How to make it
- 1. Crumble all ingredients, except ground up hot dogs, in a large, non-stick frying pan and simmer until thick. The original recipe was quite clear not to brown ground beef before adding other ingredients, but I had to bend the rules here. I DID brown the meat, and then drained the fat off as best I could before adding the other ingredients.
- 2. Add ground up hot dogs to sauce in frying pan and stir; bring to a bubble on medium low heat and then cook at least 15 minutes or more. If it tastes as though something is missing, add more cumin. If the sauce is too wet, add and stir in potato flakes or crushed saltines until desired consistency is reached. Keep warm.
- 3. Boil, roast, or grill the Viennas, as you wish. Top each frankfurter in a bun with a tablespoon or so of sauce. Serve with other condiments such as chopped fresh onions, hot dog relish, mustard or catsup, etc.
- 4. Refrigerate any leftover sauce in a tightly covered container. May be frozen, if desired.
