Creative Ways to Serve Nick’s Original Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce®

Nick’s Original Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce® was made to top a classic Coney dog, but its rich, savory taste shines in plenty of other dishes too. Browse the serving suggestions below to bring a bold new twist to everyday meals.

Tacos and Enchiladas

Trade ordinary taco meat for Nick’s Original Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce® to make flavorful tacos. When you use the sauce as a filling for tacos or enchiladas, reduce the water called for in the sauce preparation just a little.

For enchiladas, spread the sauce and enchilada sauce (Old El Paso® Hot Enchilada Sauce is an excellent choice) inside large rolled flour tortillas in a two-inch-deep baking pan, saving ½ to ¾ cup of enchilada sauce to spoon over the stuffed tortillas. Top with extra enchilada sauce and a generous layer of shredded Colby-Jack cheese, then bake for thirty minutes at 350 degrees.

Breakfast and Rice Dishes

  • Coney Chili Omelet: Fold Nick’s sauce into your favorite cheese omelet for a hearty breakfast with a distinctive kick.
  • Over White Rice: Spoon a piping hot cup of Nick’s sauce over one cup of steamed white rice, top with chopped onions and parsley, and serve with your preferred vegetable or a green salad.

Potatoes, Pasta, and Fries

  • Baked Potato: Ladle a piping hot cup of Nick’s sauce over a medium baked potato, then add chopped green onion, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
  • Pasta: Toss one cup of Nick’s sauce with your favorite pasta and finish it with fresh chopped tomatoes and crushed red pepper.
  • Coney Fries: Make spicy Coney fries by topping an 8 oz serving of French fries with a half cup (4 oz) of Nick’s sauce, then add chopped onions and shredded cheddar cheese to taste.

Bowls, Salads, and Chips

  • In a Bowl: Nick’s sauce is delicious all on its own. Dress it up with crushed saltine crackers and chopped onions, and add Tabasco® Brand Pepper Sauce for extra heat.
  • On Lettuce: Create a one-of-a-kind taco salad by adding one hot cup of Nick’s sauce to hand-broken Romaine lettuce set on a bed of Spanish rice. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, tomatoes, and a generous dollop of sour cream, then season with Tabasco® Brand Pepper Sauce for extra spice.
  • On Tortilla Chips: Warm one cup of your favorite tortilla chips in the microwave and add a half cup (4 oz) of Nick’s sauce. Finish with chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream, and season with Tabasco® Brand Pepper Sauce for extra spice.

Burgers and Lighter Options

  • Coney Island Hamburger: Build an open-face Coney Island hamburger by setting a hamburger patty on a warm, toasted bun, adding ½ cup of Nick’s sauce, and topping it with mustard and chopped onion.
  • Meatless Alternative: Make a low-calorie, low-fat meatless version with textured vegetable protein (TVP) in place of hamburger. Mix ½ cup of TVP plus an additional ½ cup of water in place of ½ lb of hamburger for each 2 oz packet of Nick’s Original Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce® — it delivers all the protein of hamburger without the fat.
  • Low-Carb Alternative: Nick’s Original Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce® is a low-carbohydrate product that pairs well with other low-carb foods. Try it on hot dogs or hamburger patties without the bun, make a taco salad without the rice, or enjoy a Coney omelet without toast and hash browns.
