Michigan Coney Dog 🌭
Comfort Food Across America 🇺🇸
Classic Michigan-style chili — smooth, savory, slow-simmered, and made specifically for hot dogs. Piled onto a grilled dog, tucked into a toasted bun, and finished with mustard and onions.
Simple. Messy. Iconic.

It's cold here, in Ca
Never heard a coney dog be called wholesome before. Looks good though!
Wow looks so good! I can't wait to try this one . Keep em coming 😉.
I will cut the salt amount
Waaay too much nonsense talking
Those hot dog weiners look like cheap weiners…. invest in some Nathans Hot Dogs, taste amazing and like actual beef, not knock off crap
Take out the gross onions and it might be good! JMO!!
I would cook the onions first then add the beef
This guy is so cute 🥺 love hearing him talk
Mustard, chili and cheese.
Bro, I love your energy.
You basically made an "all the way". Regular mustard, then raw onion, and last the chili. With the cheese one put the cheese on before the chili.
Last, but not least, the hot dog should be Sabrett, Hebrew National, or Bests. NY/NJ here.
Looks so good and simple…thanks for sharing.
Appreciate you bro.
Good lookin recipe
It does sound good; however, instead of chili powder, I would use smoked paprika. Coney sauce is traditionally a Greek ("yes Gus, this is Greek") invention. I doubt they would have used chili powder. But, each to his or her own. 🤔
Beautiful Dogs, Bro!❤
Id prefer caramelized onions but looks great.
Fry your hot dogs in butter and then prepare your chilie dog. Make chilie with beans
