Hot Dog Sauce

Teresa M's Note:

This is a Very good hot dog sauce. It makes a lot, so it's handy to freeze in family-size portions and always have sauce for hot dogs. We always have it at cook-outs.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 16

• 2 lbs ground chuck
• 2 lbs onions, chopped fine

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 4 cups tomato puree
• 2 cans tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
• 4 cups water, more if needed

Directions:

1. Brown ground chuck, onions and garlic together& drain fat.
2. Add remaining ingredients.
3. Simmer together 1 hour or until desired consistency (should be like a thick chili).
4. Serve over hot dogs on buns, smother with finely-diced onions, if desired, and enjoy.

This truly was a yummy sauce, I divided it in half, only my hubby and me, but it was still perfect!!! He loved it....

Very easy to make although the prep was longer than 5 minutes more like 20min. I had to simmer it longer also. But the finished product was excellent. I have been trying to clone a sauce from an area hot dog shop for years and this is better so it is a KEEPER. Thanks for sharing! CandleLady9ah

Until I saw your recipe I had never thought of having a sauce ready to use for hot dogs...this was really great. I'm just getting around to posting some reviews so I wanted to be sure and tell you that this made the family happy when we decided to have hot dogs for dinner. Thanks for posting!
