I add several ground-up cooked hot dogs to the sauce & also a small jar of paprika, instead of the chili powder. Its an excellent way to use up (too browned) hot dogs.

Made this years ago. Good base for a bulk recipe. Never had A&W coney before. Tweak it as per your own taste. Add 4 heads (yes four or five or six) of fresh minced garlic, 1/2 cup hot Chinese mustard, 1/2 cup dijon mustard, 1/2 cup siracha hot sauce or chilli paste, 1 Tbs ground cumin, double celery seed, instead of regular salt use seasoning salt, 1 tsp savory, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp sage, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp tumeric. This is now my base for this recipe. Have fun and make it your own. I used this recipe for coneyburgers at a remote foward attack fire base in the north of Ontario. Well recieved. Yes northern Ontario has Coneydogs and burgers.
