We eat hot dogs galore during the summer and I am always looking for new ways to prepare them or new toppings to try out. This sauce was really delicious and enjoyed a lot by my family at our most recent cook out! I plan to make up some of this and try canning it for the winter! With onions from the garden it should be delicious!
