Submitted by quotFoodThe Way To

"Every state has it's own food specialties. Hawaii has pineapple, R.I. has "hot weiners!" What are they? It's a small hot dog, placed on a steammed bun, topped with mustard, chopped onion, celery salt and meat sauce! I crave these! Recipes for this sauce are varied. This is another recipe for it. You decide which one you like better."

I made this recipe on May 4th. for the " Down On The Farm " Event in the Food Photo Forum and most importantly mine and my SO's Dinner. :) I followed the recipe almost exactly as it was written, and as for the amount of cinnamon about 1/4 tsp. was used. I didn't have any celery salt, but did have celery powder and used a couple of shakes of that along with a sprinkling of regular table salt. And as it was described in the description, I used onion and mustard. Thank you posting such a very good recipe that will be made again. " Keep Smiling :) "

This was a good sauce for the top of hot dogs. I was really expecting it to be spicy, but it wasn't. I liked the touch of cinnamon in the recipe. If I made this again, I would add a dash of hot sauce or maybe cayenne pepper. Thanks Chef! Edited to Add: I missed this part of the recipe "topped with mustard, chopped onion, celery salt and meat sauce!" because it was written in the description so I will be trying these again.
