Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi Cheryl, Warm welcome to you. What kind of hot dog sauce are you talking about? Are you talking about chili dogs where they put chili on top? If so, that chili is normally a thinner chili with little meat. I can try to find a " detailed " recipe for you although I do not have a tried and true one. I have purchased vegetarian chili in a can and topped veggie dogs with it before. I would imagine that it would be a combination of finely diced onion and garlic with some water, chile powder, maybe tomato sauce and masa to thicken it up. Probably more spices are added. Come to think of it you might be talking about the cheese sauce?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 -Hello Yeah I am just talking about the regular hot dogs or chile dogs like you can buy at festivals. That sauce smells so good but its the spices I am smelling.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Cheryl, Your post brings to mind what my parents always called the " Coney Island. " Which was basically a hot dog bun, a wienie, then brown (hamburger) chili, then grated cheese, then chopped onion. The blend of flavors and textures was very appealing. I got burned once when I bought some veggie franks at our local supermarket and paid a pretty good price for them, too. They were horrible! and I'm a person who welcomes and accepts a whole diverse range of tastes, textures, and flavors! It kind of turned me off of trying to duplicate the hot dog thing! Have the offerings on this type of product been improved over the years?

They were horrible! I've had that experience, too! But 2 years ago, when visiting my parents in Germany (I grew up there), my daughter and I found a multitude of very tasty tofu/veggie products (franks, " baloney " , Gelbwurst etc.). Even my dad, who is not into vegetarianism at all had to reluctantly admit that it wasn't bad at all. Now if I could only find something similar over here. -- Best regards, Susanne siskiou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Paula, What kind of Veggie Franks did you try? Were they little hot dogs in a can? ...regular hot dogs in a sealed plastic packaging? On the latter, you gotta steam those in water or boil them. I find that if you don't they have a strange texture. Cheryl, I cannot find a recipe in our files that would be saucy (plenty of vegetarian and vegan chilis though). I would look up a coney island sauce and substitute an item for the meat such as textured vegetable protein. Or perhaps just leave it out altogether. Here is a similar recipe that I found and added in vegetarian products. I have not tried it at all - tis experimental. Coney Island Dogs 1 pound Vegetarian Ground unmeat, Lean or tvp 1 Small Onion, Chopped 2 Tbls. Prepared Yellow Mustard 2 Tbls. Vinegar 2 Tbls. Sugar 1 Tbls. Water 1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce (make sure there are no anchovies in the ingredients) 1/4 tsp. Celery Seed 1/4 tsp. Tabasco Sauce 1/4 cup Catsup, Approximate (Use enough to keep mixture loose) In salted skillet, over medium heat, brown ground unmeat with onion, breaking up meat with fork to crumble fine. Drain off fat. Add mustard, vinegar, sugar, water, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, and Tabasco sauce. Mix well. Add enough catsup to keep mixture loose. Reduce heat to low, and simmer (uncovered), for 35 to 40 minutes. Makes enough sauce for six to eight medium veg weiners.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Shawn, it's been several (like at least 5) years ago, but they were sealed in a plastic bag and bought in the produce section offered in with the tofu. The texture was very waxy almost, and yes, there was also the faint rubbery taste and texture of garden hose in there, and I just kept thinking " how do they stay in business???? " It's kind of like you could eat it if you were starving, but it was so unpleasant, why would you want to otherwise? Hmmmmm....can't remember how I cooked them---usually I boil or nuke....

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 " faint rubbery taste and texture of garden hose " LOL! Too funny, Paula! The only way to cook those things is too boil them or simmer/steam them in a small amount of water. I've microwaved and even worse grilled them without first somehow getting some water into those things and it was a disaster. I once thought you could grill cardboard and it would taste good. Well, yah, it probably would taste better than those grilled veg dogs. I think the key is if you do not like hot dogs, then you will not like veg dogs. Or key number 2 is that you use the product as just filler and you drown them in things you like such as tons of mustard, relish, jalapenos and vegetarian chili! ...all on a toasted bun of course. Yah, I think I prefer that latter filler idear. Oh onion and green onion too.

I've a recipe for Skyline Chili (Cincinnati style, baby!) that I've made with the Morningstar crumbles... after the " meat " is cooked you blend it so the pieces are quite small, and the chili ends up being " saucy " . It's served over spaghetti pasta with onions and cheese. I'll see if I can find it if you think it might be close, Cheryl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I have a copycat recipe for that. Not TNT by me, but by a guy named Todd Wilbur (Top Secret Recipes), who makes a living concocting cloned recipes. I'll send it along if you like.
