The hot dog is a quintessential american food, and there are endless ways to dress it up. You might like your hot dogs grilled and served in buns, battered in cornmeal and fried, or blanketed in crescent roll dough. Alternatively, you might like them smothered in a beefy chili sauce. This hot dog sauce is a spicy mixture of ground beef and tomato sauce. Serve it over hot dogs in split toasted buns and top them with shredded cheese and chopped onions.
