Hot Dog Sauce Recipe

hot_dog_sauce_1
This recipe is a great way to make hot dog sauce using ground beef. The beef is simmered in the pan with various seasonings. It is important to cook this slowly so that it is nice and moist when you want to serve it. You want to cook the mixture just until the liquid is almost gone but not completely. You can adjust a lot of the seasonings to your taste and add additional seasonings as well. Along with this hot dog sauce you can top your hot dogs with whatever you like; some good options would be cheddar cheese, ketchup, and mustard. What I did was top them with warmed nacho cheese and green onions—it was delicious! Enjoy.
