Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a medium sized skillet and add onion; cook until softened but not browned. Add the ground beef and cooked until browned, breaking the meat up. Drain and set aside.

To the same skillet, add the ketchup, hot sauce, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce; stir in cola, root beer, Dr Pepper or water and sugar and blend well. Add the Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, allspice, celery seed, salt and pepper. Grate about 3 passes on the

of whole nutmeg into the sauce, if desired. Bring mixture up to a boil, add the meat, reduce and simmer for about 30 minutes on medium low.

Meanwhile grill the hot dogs. Brush the hot dog buns with a light layer of melted butter and toast on the upper rack of the grill. Place hot dog in a bun, top with the hot dog sauce, and garnish as desired.
