Hot Dog Buns
Cheese Sauce
optional topping
Finely diced onions
optional topping
Instructions
Mix everything, except hot dog buns, cheese sauce and extra onions for topping, together in a large sauce pot. Do not brown the ground beef first.
Bring to a slow simmer, stirring frequently.
Leave uncovered and simmer for 4 hours. Stirring often to prevent scorching and sticking.
Sauce Bun: Serve on hot dog buns with cheese sauce and onions.
Red Hot: Spoon over a hot dog in a hot dog bun.
Notes
Do not cook the ground beef first.
For a more authentic sandwich, heat the filled hot dog buns in a microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, just long enough to soften the buns.
