Tonight, my sister and I were on the phone and she said, "I'm taking Dad to Dogs-n-Suds for a coney dog and root beer." Now all I want is this for dinner! In the town where I grew up, there were two notable root beer stands. The first was Dogs-n-Suds A&W root beer and then Pop's Root Beer Stand. I am doubly blessed to have recipes for both! Does anyone have a coney sauce that reminds them of summertime back when your only wheels was on a Schwinn?
Dog-n-Suds Coney Sauce
1 pound of ground beef
2 tablespoons of prepared mustard
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
1 small onion chopped
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
ketchup as needed
Brown ground beef with onion over medium heat breaking up the meat to a fine crumble. Drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients, except ketchup. Mix well and then add enough ketchup to keep the mixture loose. Simmer partially covered for 1 hour adding ketchup as needed. (I use Heinz, but Dogs-n-Suds supposedly used Hunts ketchup.)
Pop's Root Beer "Spanish" Hot Dog Sauce
2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup of water
2 cups Hunts ketchup
4 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1 teaspoon "plain Morton's salt"
Do not cook ground beef first. Mix raw ground meat with everything together in a pot. Simmer for 1 hour. Spoon over hotdogs.
Spanish Dogs and root beer were the things to get. Pop's was the place to see and be seen and the park was around the corner. Get your dog, then go to the park and then off to Frozen Custard! All three places were drive up and order. Ah, Summertime!
