Yum! I talked to my sister and she told me she used to love this sauce over hot dogs. I really enjoyed it and actually used it in a vegetarian casserole. Thanks for posting!

This was my grandmother's favorite Mr. Food recipe, so I've been enjoying these since I was little. Last summer I made them (and TRIPLED the recipe because boy, we are onion lovers!) and put them in a small crockpot on the warm setting so they stayed hot throughout the meal. They are also excellent on burgers or cube steaks.
