Years ago I had neighbor who was from Malone. He made a chili like sauce to put on his glasiers that he called "michigan sauce". or. Clipper...my nephew who lives in New Hartford gave me a recipe for a "Michigan Sauce" wonder if it is the same. Let see if I can dig it up should you want it. ;D |

Wow, that would be great. I just happen to have 10 lbs of good old New York State franks standing by, haha. It is like the pizza situation. Hot dogs here are lousy. Ballpark is the best you can buy and they are nothing like a Hoffman's hot dog. There are NO hot dogs here with a natural casing. Thanks Chris!

I agree Hoffmans Hots are the best. Here in Rochester they all think Zweigles are but they don't come close. Okay lucky you ....I found the recipe!!!! Michigan Sauce 1 medium onion chopped 2tbls butter 2tbls vinegar 2 tbls brown sugar 4 tbls lemon juice 1/2 tbls prepared mustard 3 tbls worcestershire 1 cup ketsup 1/2 lb hamburg (I am going to assume its ground beef)  salt and pepper to taste Cook onions until soft. Add other ingredients with exception of the hamburg. Saute hamburg in pan. Combine with sauce and simmer about 1/2 hour. Makes 1 pint of sauce. Serve over HOT DOGS!!! After you make some let us know what you think. |

I will be making it today. Hot dogs tomorrow. I will let ya know how it turns out. Sounds like the same stuff that my neighbor used to make. I remember that he used to make sure to use fairly lean beef, and drained it well to insure that the sauce was not greasy. He also broke it up really fine to make the consistency smoother to spoon onto the top of the hotdogs.
Thank you for the recipe Chris. You are an angel. I will be really overjoyed to savor the flavor of NY hotdogs and Michigan sauce. Anyone know how I can get the friehoffer's new england style rolls in Tennessee? You know. The kind that are split on the top? (Yeah right. I am getting a little obsessive, haha)
Thanks again Chris. I can't wait to try out the recipe! mmm mmm good!

Your welcome. After I went and posted this after finding the recipe I decided to do a Google and came up with very similar or same recipes and an explanation where the name originated from. It also made me remember an old recipe some call "goulash" which is basically elbow macs and hamburger with tomatoe sauce...so I whipped up a batch today. (one of those old fashioned comfort foods from days gone by...they use to make it at the Cafteria across the street of Met Life on Genesee ST. (yellow building on the corner of Genesee and Eagle?..kitty corner fromt the old G&E building and the book store was across on the other side too) Ahh the good ole days.  |

Michigan sauce was great Chris, thank a lot! It is awesome!
Kathy makes the goulash all the time. She makes it with homemade marinara sauce, a pound of ground chuck, a pound of loose fried italian sausage, bell peppers, two or three cloves of minced garlic, and minced onion. That is another one of my favorites. I am a cheap person to cook for, haha.
Thanks again for the Michigan sauce recipe. I was in heaven with Hoffmans franks and Michigan sauce, and a tall glass of skim milk with nestle's quik, haha. Just like a kid in the candy store.

The best hotdogs are the Jewish hotdogs. They only use the meat from the front of the cow. All the other brands mechanically scrape the meat off the bones of the various animals they use. When this is done along the spinal cord you get a lot of nerve tissue mixed in the meat.
Next time you buy a package of hotdogs look on the package for: mechanically scraped meat.

So you get the scraps and bone scrapings from the front half of the cow instead of the back part. Personally, I don't like Beef hot dogs. A good hot dog has mixed meats in it, including pork, and there darn sure won't be any pork in a Jewish hot dog.
Most hot dogs are made from trimmings and inexpensive parts of a cow or pig. I doubt that even Hebrew National uses the prime cuts from a cow to make hotdogs, and if they were to do so, I imagine that they would scrape every scrap of meat from the bones, just as any other meat packer would.
I will take my chances on such flavor enhancers as snouts, tails, feet, to make my hotdog taste better, and don't forget an unhealthy dose of nitrates and chemicals. Hey, a hot dog isn't prime rib. If ya don't want to take a chance on getting mad cow disease, I guess we need to skip the beef and eat lots of filthy old chickens and chase it with broccoli. LOL

LOL. THAT was probably one of the more sanitary parts of the chicken that was included in the batch. Thank god the stuff is cooked, haha.
I don't do chicken hotdogs either, although the "meat" hotdogs have chicken included in their ingredients. Turkey hotdogs are even worse. There is something not right when hotdogs are made by "Jenny O" If I want turkey, I will buy a turkey or wait until Thanksgiving. The same goes for turkey italian sausage, and turkey kielbasa. Give me a break. Some things are simply a sin against a persons palate, LOL.

LOL Lucy. If I had Turkey Kielbasa, that is just what I would do with it! Take it back! After I took it back, I would go to Hap's and get some good meat kielbasa with beef and pork in it, haha.
I grew up on Kraft dinner and cheap hot dogs. My dad worked hard, and times were tough sometimes. We always had a balanced diet, and all we wanted to eat, but the cheaper cuts of meat, and chicken were staples, along with canned veggies and a lot of potatoes and pasta.
When I grew up, I swore I would never feed my kids that cheap stuff unless it was necessary, and to this day I don't eat canned veggies, or chicken products other than fried chicken or chicken breasts. I eat butter instead of margarine and I eat lots of red meat and pork.
Hell, if they cremate me, they will probably have to put a drip pan under me to catch the rendered fat, haha. When I croak, I croak. I will not limit myself to crappy tasting food that I don't like simply because it is low fat and low in cholesterol. When I go boobies up, it will be with a full tummy and a smile on my face. I hope the last thing I eat is a bowl of good vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, or a good cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll.

God love ya Clipper whenever I am a little down your posts brighten me up.
Turkey hot dogs are good with cranberry sauce. I heard there is an abundance of cranberries this year. I hope the price of the juice goes down.

Well Concerned, we have our disagreements from time to time, probably because I am so damned headstrong and opinionated, but I love to read your posts also my friend. I not only love your humor, but I also consider some of the knowledge that you impart to be a real gift to us all.
Hey what the hell. All that fat that they render out of me, may keep part of me around for a few more years in the form of a candle or two, or possibly a bar or two of flea soap for one's pet, haha.
Have a good day Concerned
