As someone who grew up in Indiana and ate at the Greenwood DnS. Just ate in Lafayette DnS and who's parents know the former owner. This is not it. -
Excellent! Brought back old memories. Tweaked a little for personal preference but this is the best recipe I've found! Check out Cherish B. for tweaks -
Quanities are not correct. Used 1 t vinegar & 2T Worschester sauce & 1/4 t celery seed.. Came out perfect. -
Almost perfect... Add a quarter cup more sugar and more celery seed and like 3-4 more tablespoons vinegar... Then just balance the color with ketchup and mustard to get that perfect orangey color and your good to go?

My DH & I grew up in the Lafayette area and didn't think this tasted anything like Dog N Suds coney sauce. Followed the recipe very carefully but felt it turned out to be more like sloppy joe sauce than coney dog sauce.

I've been creating test batches based off the comments section here and elsewhere, and we've come up with a variation that my bf (who grew up with Dogs n Suds) says is close enough that he's not complaining. Here are the basic changes I made, which again are an amalgamation of all the comments: Soak about 1/4 c dried minced onion in water. You will use about 2 1/2 tbsp of them after soaking, but you could add more if you like the flavor of onion. Choose beef with higher fat content and brown on medium heat. Allow it to simmer in the fat for a bit along with the 2 1/3 tbsp soaked onion, 1/4 tsp celery seed, and 1/8 tsp of allspice, along with some salt and pepper. This is when you need to be breaking up the beef. I haven't needed to break it up further with a processor. Drain fat. Then add 2 tbsp mustard, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp Tabasco, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/3 c Open Pit BBQ sauce. Stir to mix. Add enough ketchup to reach desired consistency, stirring. Add about 1/3 c water and stir. Cover. Lower heat and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally. As the water cooks out, you may want to add more so the mixture doesn't burn. At about an hour in, do a taste test and be sure you don't need more ketchup or anything else.
