Hot Dog Coney Sauce – Crock Pot

Nothing like a Coney Dog or as some call it a Chili Dog. These are a weakness for me and sometimes I just have to have them!

Follow package serving size for accurate counting of calories. I measure everything per plate/bowl based on serving sizes listed on all packages/containers to determine calories.

What you need:
1 lb Ground Beef
1 Large Onion Diced
2 oz Cans Tomato Sauce
Sugar
Mustard
Garlic Powder
cayenne Powder
Chili Powder

How To:
Brown ground beef and onion in skillet until thoroughly cooked.

Drain grease and run hot water over cooked ground beef while in strainer to remove excuse fat.
Return to skillet.

Add tomato sauce to skillet.

Mix well.
Now is time to all all remaining ingredients. I do not measure these – I eyeball them and add them to taste. Taste as you go. You do not want it super sweet so do not over do the sugar. You do not want it super sour so watch the mustard. Increase or decrease cayenne and chili powder to achieve the desired spice you would like.

Mix and mix and mix until well combined.

Add to crock pot on low for 3-4 hours.

Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

You can cook your hot dogs in a separate crock pot as well. Makes this a super easy lunch or dinner and increase your recipes for a large get together! Search for our Hot Dog Crock Pot recipe for how to.

Sloppy Joe – Crock Pot

Sloppy Joe’s are an easy quick fix for a relaxed busy night dinner. Pair with some French fries or chips and call dinner done!

It is free of dairy, egg, peanut, and tree nut. Be sure the food items you use are free of these allergens to ensure your recipe is safe for your loved one by reading all labels and calling the manufacture if needed for how it is produced.

Calorie count: 565 (based on the food brands I used) Read your labels for accurate calorie counts. Follow package serving size for accurate counting of calories. I measure everything per plate/bowl based on serving sizes listed on all packages/containers to determine calories.

What you need:
2 LBS Ground Beef
1 Medium Onion
Ketchup
Mustard
Garlic Salt
Sugar
BBQ Sauce

How to:
Dice onion.
Brown Ground Beef in skillet with diced onion and sprinkle some garlic over it while cooking.
Once browned drain fat.
Pour into Crock pot.

Now add ketchup, mustard, sugar, bbq sauce. I do not measure these. I just add. You need just a little mustard and sugar not much at all. You need BBQ to taste only. Ketchup is what you need the most of and will probably add more after stirring all together.

Stir well incorporate all ingredients together.
You want it to be a little sloppy if it is not add more ketchup until you reach the “sloppy” style you like.

I usually have to add ketchup 2-3 times. Add a little at a time you can always add more but can not take away.
Once your joe’s are sloppy like you like them turn crock pot on low for about 3 hours.

Enjoy ❤
