MainRecipecom Coney Sauce
The original Coney sauce was meatless, some secret Coney sauce recipes include cinnamon. A red frankfurter called a "frank." was a Vienna beef hot dog and a popular original in Chicago. A White Knockwurst, a mild German sausage made with veal, pork, milk, and eggs is used as a Coney dog in some parts of New York State, in Buffalo N.Y. a Coney is a "Texas Red Hot". This is essentially a Coney Island - a hot dog topped with,cheese, chopped raw onions, mustard (horseradish mustard, sometimes) and a thin chili sauce. It is important to note that the sauce is not chili, per se, but a tomato-based sauce with some ground meat and chili (spice) as flavorings.
