Old Fashion North Carolina Hotdogs
In the 1930’s you could buy hotdogs in hotdog/hamburger places for $0.15 and hamburgers for $0.25. Our family finances dictated we were limited to the hotdogs except on special occasions. The dogs were kept in hot water on a steam counter and the buns were kept in a steam compartment on that steam counter.
The hotdogs were served on a hotdog bun with mustard, onions and chili. The chili was made on site. They were truly good. You can hardly get them that way anymore.
For years we would create them ourselves at home using a steamer for the buns and a pot to heat the water for the dogs. We made the chili from scratch. That was right much to do, and we didn’t do it often. Then one day my step daughter taught me how to make those hotdogs almost as good as the original with little effort. Here’s how:
Ingredients
Castlebrry’s hotdog chili. It’s almost as good as the original.
Hotdog bun
Good quality hotdog
Small onion
Direction
1. Chop some onion to very small size.
2. Open the bun and put mustard on the bottom.
3. Put the dog next.
4. Add the chili.
5. Add the onion.
6. Wrap in a paper towel.
7. Microwave to finish. Two hotdogs take about one minute.
8.Remove and enjoy.
Very little to clean up!
Caution!
If you don’t add the ingredients in the exact order given, you will die!
Good Luck!
