Dad’s Hot Dog Sauce
5 pounds hamburger
2 - 46 ounce cans tomato juice
5 teaspoons salt
3 large onions, diced
salt for the onions
1/2 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup sugar
1 can tomato paste
Place hamburger meat, one can of tomato juice, and salt in a large kettle.  Mix together with your hands, as if making a meatloaf. The meat should be mushy. Cook over medium heat to gently bubbling. Simmer until the meat is no longer pink. Stir often so it doesn’t stick.
While the hamburger is cooking, place onions, salt, and 1/2 cup of water in a sauce pan and cook until almost tender. Do not overcook or the onions will be mushy. Set aside, but do not drain the liquid off of the onions.
Once the hamburger is done, drain the grease off of the hamburger.  Return the hamburger meat to your kettle. Add in the chili powder, black pepper, and sugar. Stir and mix these in really well. Add the onions with the water and about half of the other can of tomato juice and the tomato paste. Stir until all of this is well incorporated.
Cook gently until thickened enough for your hot dog sauce. It will continue to thicken a little as it cools.
