Chili Dogs

Just cover the franks with any extras you like, such as mustard and onions, then ladle on this super sauce. I found this recipe in Taste Of Home Quick Cooking 2005. I posted this for safe keeping before my family tried it. I have to agree with reviewer there is not a whole lot of flavor for all the seasonings. I even doubled the onion powder, garlic salt, and ground mustard. I added 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. This just still didn't due anything for the flavor. Overall this is a thick sauce.
