Using oil for cooking ground meat is optional as most ground meats already contain enough fat to be cooked without adding additional oil. However, coating the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil can help prevent the meat from burning or sticking, which can be particularly useful when using a stainless steel pan. If you’re not using oil, you’ll need to keep a closer eye on the meat during the first few minutes of cooking and stir it more frequently to prevent burning.

Preparation Switch to cook mode Old Time Hot Dog Sauce Step 1 In a large bowl, mix the ground meat with cinnamon, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. *For a finer ground meat, pass the meat through a food processor and pulse for a few seconds.

Step 6 When serving, place the ground beef mixture in a lightly toasted hot dog bun and add ketchup (or homemade ketchup) and thin slices of onion. Like it? Share it!
