The coneys we had as kids came from a small shop ran by a family from Greece. I've been looking at coney recipes for a long time and all have been nothing but glorified chili sauce and not true coney sauce, this is it exactly what I remember a coney dog is, thank you for sharing this.

[@uttercontrivance]

Absolutely works like a dream. I use less chili powder and add another tbsp of paprika and three tbsp of cumin. This recipe allows for flavor variation, but the texture is what makes it perfect.

[@TessCooks4u]

Great 👍

[@bobcrandall7749]

I work at greek restaurant. Made plunty sauce. Brake down your hambueger use your hands. Try a heaping table spoon of cinnamon. It's worth it

[@peterplantec7911]

I like the simplicity of this one. The Greek guy who suggested cinnamon might be on to something. I'm trying it both ways. As a kid in Jersey I loved the local Greek meat sauce on my hotdog.

[@JNo-sk5mz]

I'm from Erie PA and glad you out this recipe up! Gonna try it. 😁

[@Oddzilla51]

I made this for a family BBQ, but added a teaspoon of cumin. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

[@tomstestkitchen]

Quick and easy, I will have to try this one Tess. That tip at first about the ground beef and water, that's the secret to Cincinnati style chili. Hot dog sauces in the north east are a big deal, they vary not only from state to state but county to county, city to city. Where I lived, Kingston NY, the big one was Texas Hot Weiner sauce. Most of these are known as "Greek Hot Dog Sauces" because they are usually found at the many diners owned by Greek families.

[@TessCooks4u]

Tom, yes, it does vary by region. This is a Greek diner and surprisingly is still in business. I remember the day my Mom clipped this recipe from the newspaper...she was so excited and our family (only my sister and I left) still make it today. Thanks so much for watching.

[@punisher8455]

Thank you thank you I made it absolutely delicious unbelievable how easy and delicious that recipe is my family just loves you and now making this almost every week

[@over50andfantabulous59]

My son has loved hot sauce and sauces on hot dogs since he was 4 years old. He is going to love this.

New York Lunch from Erie PA. was the best for me.

[@butchmcbride6974]

OMG I cannot believe this find. I grew up in Southern New Jersey and they had a small dinner downtown--I believed called Texas Winnie. (??) They had these hot dogs with some sauce and mustard. I also thought they came from Texas. Eventually, they closed and I have never seen them sense. (and now I am 68) This had to be what this one. If I remember correctly the gentleman was a Greek. I am going to try and make this for myself. Thank you

I made your sauce,, but I added cumin, it was fantastic,, thank you for the recipe...I can't believe how good it is,,,, I make it every week now,,,

[@Oddzilla51]

I've made this sauce and it turns out great? I added cumin and and increased some of the portions slightly and it's delicious! Was a big hit at a family get together. My next experiment is to hit it with an immersion blender to smooth some of out even more for a thicker sauce. Thank you!

[@stevekerr1386]

Looks great and brings back memories for me as well. Thanks for posting.

I live in the upstate NY (capital region) and we have a handful of places that make this style hot dog but with mini dogs and buns. I gotta try your recipe! Thank you for sharing

[@thenar]

Thanks Tess, this is close to the sauce from our own Crystal Diner Greek restaurant...now long gone.

[@TessCooks4u]

I grew up with these hot dogs...love them and make them often. The diner was Laskaris in Lewistown and still in business (I think).. Can you tell me what you did different or added? Thanks so much for watching.

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

[@scotthowe1972]

Authentic Greek coney sauce is made with ground beef heart and Greek spices, its a drier sauce. no tomato is used. I'm basing my info off of the original recipe for Jackson Coney Island wich is where the Coney Island originated in Jackson Michigan via 1914.

My father owned Gallagher's Fish Fry in Watervliet, N.Y. We, the workers would go across the Hudson River to Troy where Hot Dog Charlie's was and order 50 hot dogs with the works for $5.00 yes this is correct $5.00 .10 cents apiece and boy were they ever good. AH, the good old days........... Makes my mouth water.I use your recipe to make my own Hot Dog Charlie's. It is very close to the real thing. I put just a little pinch of ground cayenne pepper for a little spice; absolutely perfect !!

Methinks you are alluding to Nick Tahoe's in Rochester and I can tell you categorically when they published his recipe in the newspaper it was nowhere close to his recipe. I knew Nick and so did my father and from time-to-time they collaborated on each other's recipe for hot sauce.

[@miket8324]

I don’t understand what makes it Greek.

[@jetsamperes5762]

Best thing about making it yourself is you know what is in it. Most coney places today - even though they say its the same 50 to 100 year old recipe - they add textured vegetable protein (TVP) as a soybean filler. Definitely not original. This looks good and simple.

[@vanscoyoc]

No greek spices?

[@marlenedawnsandford1150]

You use way too much meat, The secret is in the chili sauce is cinnamon. It's a Greek thing! One can of Hormel chili with no beans, add a tablespoon of cinnamon, a teaspoon of corn starch, heat and enjoy the flavor of a deep fried (Thurman's beef/pork) Hot Texas Weiner all the way! Only in North Jersey :)
