Uncle KiKi’s Michigan Sauce
A true upstate New York Michigan sauce made with seasoned ground beef, tomato sauce, mustard, Frank’s RedHot, and just a touch of brown sugar, slow-cooked until rich and deeply savory. Spoon it over a hot dog on a warm bun with chopped white onion and yellow mustard—or go all in and make a trash plate.
