Ingredients
- 8-16 Coney style or other style hot dog buns
- 8-16 all-beef franks (or any other type of franks you prefer)

Directions
In a large skillet, brown beef and onions over medium heat until all pink is gone from meat and onions are tender. Place about 2 cups of meat and onion mixture in a food processor or blender and mix for about 5-10 seconds or until meat and onions are
broken into smaller pieces. Pour mixed meat mixture into a bowl and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Continue this process with the rest of the meat and onion mixture until all meat and onion mixture has been mixed.
Return meat and onion mixture to skillet, then add tomato paste, water, vinegar, Worcestershire, salt, cinnamon, chili powder, garlic and pepper. Stir to combine, then cover and simmer for 1-2 hours until thick. Serve over spaghetti or hot dogs.
