Heavenly Hot Dog Sauce
This Southern-style hot dog meat sauce simmers into a rich, finely crumbled topping with a balanced touch of sweetness and gentle heat. It’s ideal for piling onto grilled franks, and the spice level is easy to adjust with crushed red pepper for game days, cookouts, or casual weeknight dinners.
