It's "Michigan Month" here in Plattsburgh, NY. For those of you unlucky people who don't know what a Michigan is, here's a short description. "Michigan dogs, also known as Red Hots, are made up of a steamed hot dog on a steamed bun topped with meat sauce. While the exact history of the Michigan dog varies, it is widely believed to have originated in Plattsburgh."
They are delicious and there are many recipes for the meat sauce. Most contain ground beef, ketchup, mustard, and a variety of spices. Some use chili powder. Some use hot sauce or red pepper (not for me thank you). A very popular way to have them is in the "buried onions" way. Chopped onions are put in the bun first and then the dog, which often is a red skinned one, is put on top with the meat sauce and usually some yellow mustard topping it off.
I had never had one, or even heard of them, before coming here back in 2006 and at first I thought it was just a chili dog. It's not, it's very different.
