Ingredients

Meat Sauce

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ large onion
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt

Other ingredients/toppings

  • 6 wieners*
  • 6 buns
  • ½ large onion
  • dijon mustard
  • sprinkle of celery salt

Instructions

  • Set half aside for the sauce, and reserve the other half for topping the wieners at the end.
  • : smoked paprika, chili powder, onion, powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar and celery salt.
  • in a deep skillet or dutch oven, heat the peanut oil over medium heat. Saute the onions for 1-2 minutes and then add the ground beef and seasonings. Once the meat is no longer pink, reduce heat, cover and simmer on low for 30-45 minutes. You can lift the lid to check on the beef mixture every so often. Add a little peanut oil if the meat mixture starts to get dry.
  • . Brush a griddle or cast pan with a small amount of peanut oil and brown the wieners on all sides. Don't worry if the wieners split. Steam the hotdog buns for 7-10 minutes using a basket steamer. Buns will be soft and very hot!
  • Allow buns to cool to the touch, place the wieners in the buns and generously top each of the wieners with the meat sauce, dijon mustard, raw chopped onions and a sprinkle of celery salt.

Notes

  • *If you don't have wieners, you can use all-beef hotdogs like Nathan's or Hebrew National
