Coney Island Sauce

Pin It

This is tried and true. My mom made this often. It was sold in her old boyfriend's sandwich shop and very popular. It is even good on salads with tortilla chips (a taco salad). He sold a lot of those also.
It's a huge batch, below is a broken down version of this same recipe.

You serve the burgers with stewed onions and this sauce and the hot dogs get raw onions, mustard and this sauce.  And of course, you steam the buns.
