Okay, I’ll be honest, the last time I had a Coney Dog was in a small town in West Central Illinois a looooong time ago, but I remember it being good. A few years ago I tried making it from scratch and it was great…but of course I didn’t write down what I did. So, I decided to try round 2 and I’m really happy with the results! So here we go!
Coney Sauce
Servings – 6 to 8 depending on how much coney sauce you pile on your hotdog.
