Helen's Scrambled Dog



No one puts ketchup on a hotdog.  - Dirty Harry

Scrambled Dog Recipe


(Served in the Patrick Family since anyone alive can remember)


Helen’s Chili
Composed to taste and consistency desired.  Amounts are only suggestions


Hamburger 1 lb boiled in 2 quarts water
Chili Powder ¼ cup (hot or mild to taste)
Garlic 3 cloves
Salt/Pepper to taste
Boil the meat in water, stirring well to prevent lumping
Add chopped Garlic, salt/pepper, chili powder
Simmer till you get a nice soupy consistency


Scrambled Dog

Saltine crackers
Hotdog (The only wieners I use are Sunnyland)
Bun
Mustard
Onion cbopped
Pickle
Composing the Scrambled Dog
Place the bun with mustard and wiener in shallow bowl
Add chili till it pools in the bottom of the bowl.
Top with onion, crushed saltines and sliced pickles

There should be just enough chili for the bun and crackers to absorb the soup so you can eat it with a fork, not a spoon.

It seems like I remember her browning the meat a little in the pot with the onions before she added the water.I am not so sure she used fresh garlic, because I cannot recall ever seeing fresh garlic in her kitchen or in the pot of chili when she made it. I am pretty sure she used garlic salt or powder. I also get an image of bull sauce being added, but that could be a ghost image in my mind.

I need to find the quart size Bull Sauce. I saw them at Harvey's one time but can't find them now.
