Coney Island Chili Dog

1 Sabrett brand 2 ounce beef frankfurter (7 1/2-inches long)
1 regular hot dog roll
3 tbsp A&W Coney Island Sauce (see recipe below)
1 tbsp chopped white onion
1/2 tbsp Kraft shredded mild cheddar cheese (optional)

A&W Coney Island Chili Dog Sauce:
1 lb ground chuck
1 (six ounce) can Hunts tomato paste
1 cup water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
1 tbsp dried, minced onion
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp ground cumin (heaping)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Making the Chili Dog Sauce:
In a 2 qt. saucepan, brown the ground chuck, breaking into very small pieces. Salt and pepper lightly while cooking. Do not drain the fat. Add the remaining ingredients. Simmer, uncovered, 30-45 minutes until it thickens. Stir occasionally. Allow to cool, cover, and refrigerate until "Dog-Time". You'll be microwaving what you need later.

Cooking your A&W Chili Dog:
Bring a 2 qt. saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the desired number of frankfurters to the water. Cover and let sit about 10 minutes. After the franks are done, microwave the chili dog sauce until steaming.(Only microwave what you need, save the rest) Then microwave each hot dog roll 10 seconds,just enough to warm.
