\"Castleberry<\/a>I’ve written quite \u00a0a bit about coney island style hot dogs, including my version of the origin of the dog, courtesy of American Coney<\/a> in Detroit; my home town favorite<\/a> in Duluth, MN, and some other regional versions like Nu-Way<\/a> in Macon. \u00a0I’ve found very few ‘make at home’ preparations that I liked, today I picked up a can of Castleberry’s Hot Dog Chili Sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recipes for ‘coney sauce’ vary wildly around the country, from a pure meat-based sauce, to meat and beans, and in parts of the south, “hot dog sauce” takes the form of a red, watery, heavily onion-flavored topping. \u00a0There’s a region of Michigan were the primary component is beef hearts; other places I have been actually use ground hot dogs in their concoction.<\/p>\n

Castleberry’s is made of beans, beef fat, water, tomato, mustard, salt, and other flavorings and colors. \u00a0In the can (pictured left) Castleberry’s resembles (to me) refried beans; the smell is reminiscent of vegetable beef soup.<\/p>\n

It’s a ‘medium’ consistency, not particularly thin, not particularly thick. \u00a0The flavor is predominantly “chili-like’, meaning the cumin really comes through. It’s salty, as well, which is unusual for me to notice, as I am an ‘over-salter’.<\/p>\n

Would I purchase it again? Possibly. \u00a0So far, though, my favorite “home-made” sauce comes from the dry packets <\/a>of one of Cincinnati’s favorites, Skyline.<\/p>\n

Castleberry says on their website they are the leading brand of hot dog chili sauce in America. \u00a0If you can’t find it near you, you can order online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finished product featured Milwaukee’s\u00a0Usinger’s<\/a> Beef\/Pork franks in a lamb casing, garden onions, Plochman’s<\/a> yellow mustard, and buns from Pan O Gold Bakery<\/a> in St. Cloud, MN.<\/p>\n

You can gets some Castleberry’s online<\/a> from our little store.<\/p>\n

If you’re a curious person like me, you’ve probably always wondered why there isn’t a mustard museum. \u00a0There is! \u00a0The National Mustard Museum <\/a>is located just outside of Madison, WI. Open seven days.<\/p>\n
