The Classic Coney Island Hot Dog is a snappy hot dog with a beanless chili sauce and onions. We serve ours with a homemade cheese sauce.

What Makes The Best Coney Island Hot Dog

  • Snappy hot dog -one that has firm skin or casing that snaps when you bite into it.
  • Covered in chili sauce.
  • Smothered in cheese.
  • Topped with diced onions and jalapeno peppers.

Ingredients

What Type of Hot Dog is Best for this Recipe?

Because the Classic Coney Island Hot Dog is covered in a deep delicious sauce with lots of toppings, the hot dog needs to stand up on its own which is my I recommend Kosher-style hot dogs for this recipe.

You can’t have a classic Coney Island hot dog unless it’s drowning in a deep, rich, meaty Coney Island sauce.

What’s the Difference Between Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce and Chili?

Coney Island sauce does not have beans. It’s literally a beanless chili sauce. It also has ketchup and brown sugar in it, which are two ingredients not usually found in most chilis.

Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce Ingredients

  • Ground Beef
  • White Onion
  • Ketchup
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Chili Powder
  • Yellow Mustard
  • Celery Seed
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper

Let’s Assemble the Coney Island Hot Dog

  1. Start with a top split bun which is an untraditional bun, but I find that it works better to hold all of the ingredients. It also lets you really load the hot dog full of the good stuff.
  2. Next, place a grilled hot dog in the bun.
  3. Then layer it with a good helping of the cheese sauce followed by an equally large heaping of Coney Island Sauce.
  4. Finally, top it with diced onions and pickled jalapeno.

Ingredients 

For the Coney Island Chili Sauce

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 onion – diced
  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2-4 tbsp chili powder depending on how hot you like your chili; you can always start with 2 and add more after tasting the final product.

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Hot Dog:

  • 8-10 premium hot dogs
  • 8-10 hot dog buns I use top-sliced buns
  • 30 slices of pickled jalapenos

Instructions

  • In a large pot, brown the ground beef (strain off any grease).
  • Add three-quarters of the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes. (The remaining onion is for the topping.)
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients.
  •  Reduce the mixture to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.

For the Cheese Sauce:

  • Add mild to a stove-top pan and warm on medium heat.
  • Whisk in the cornstarch.
  • Add 4-ounces of the cheese and whisk until it melts.
  • Add the remaining 4-ounces of cheese and continue to whisk until fully melted

For the hot dogs

  • Boil or grill the hot dog.
  • Gill the buns just until they start to crisp.
  • Add the hot dog to the bun.
  • Top the hot dog with cheese sauce, the chili, diced onions, and pickled jalapenos

    This recipe is right on time, I just bought hot dogs, and now I’m going to make this sauce. I will try it with chicken chili first as I’m running short on beef. Do you have an idea of timings to cook chicken chili in the instant pot? I prefer cooking in it as it is a faster way to prepare meaty meals.

      Hi Corrie – Chicken is a great substitute and while I haven’t tried this recipe in my Instant Pot yet, I would presume you cook it as long as you would any other chicken recipes and take into account whether it’s bone in our bone out. I love to hear how it turns out.
