Sour Wiener Gravy

( recipe by DomesticGoddess )

 

This is an unusual kind of gravy, made with sliced wieners, served over mashed potatoes.

The first time I had this, was at my sister-in-laws over twenty years ago.

I've changed a few of the ingredients just abit,

but since then, it's become a family favorite.

Our daughter Jenny prepares this for her husband, who loves it.

 

5 3/4 cups cold water

1 medium onion, finely chopped

salt and pepper, to taste

30 store bought gingersnap cookies

( I used the Rippin Good Brand. Do not use home baked gingersnaps. )

1 1/2 cups 5% white vinegar

2 lbs. thinly sliced hot dogs

hot-cooked mashed potatoes

 

In a large deep 12-inch skillet, combine water, onion, salt, pepper and gingersnaps.

Let sit for a minute or two.

Stir until cookies have dissolved.

Add the vinegar and sliced wieners.

Heat over medium-low heat, until it almost boils and is some-what thick.

Serve over the hot mashed cooked potatoes.

Serves 8-10.

 

Note: I butter my potatoes first, before spreading on the sour wiener gravy.

 

Ingredients to this recipe use to be:

6 cups cold water

1 small onion

20 gingersnaps

1 1/2 cups 5% white vinegar

1 lb. sliced wieners

 

I thought the gravy was a bit too runny, and there weren't enough sliced wieners.

I think my modifications to this recipe made it even better.
