HOT DOG SAUCE OR SLOPPY JOES
Hot dog sauce is an easy recipe and better than store bought.
Hot dog sauce is so good if you make it yourself. We like it just on hamburger buns, too, like Sloppy Joes. This hot dog sauce is very versatile and can be used as a base sauce. It would be great over pasta, too. We put this on brats, hot dogs, nachos and tortillas. This sauce is great in summer as a go to sauce you can make for barbecued hot dogs and brats. It is great in winter for a quick weeknight meal served on buns with chips. If you like to make your own sloppy joes, you may love this recipe too.

This is a hot dog sauce. It has sugar in it but is not sweet. The mustard gives it a sort of sweet and sour flavor.
Can this be frozen? I want to try it, and if I like it, I’m hoping to make up a few batches to toss in the freezer.
I have not tried freezing it Nancy, but see no reason why you couldn’t.
I haven’t tried this yet but I make and freeze hot dog chili sauce all the time.
I served it as a hot dog sauce and as sloppy Joe’s too….very versital.
I made this today. YUMMY. I did add a little water to thin it out a little.
Will use this soon. Thanks.
I grew up in Charlotte, N.C. and moved here (FL) at almost 18. I’ll never forget right after I moved here, I went to Lum’s for a chili dog. When I took it out of the wrapper, I said “What in the world? They messed up and put beans on my hotdog! I took it back to the cahier and told her and she thought I was crazy. She said “You ordered a chili dog,” and I said “not with beans!” She said that’s how they come. I said “I’ve never heard such a thang! That’s plum crazy! You have Chili Beans, and you have chili for your hotdogs, not chili beans on your hotdog!” True, but too funny not to share 😀
That is funny Pam. I enjoyed your story and thanks for sharing with us. Merry Christmas.
I live in South eastern Kentucky, very cloudy here and a little rain so far but I’m sure it’ll start raining good shortly. I can’t have the bread but I can have a turkey weiner and the sauce with a bunch of trimmings. Thanks for sharing! Looks like a good supper tonight.
Hi Maggie, Here is the link to the only fried apple pie recipe I have on the blog. It was contributed by my sister and is the way she makes them. https://thesouthernladycooks.com/2010/03/04/easy-fried-apple-pies/. I am giving you the link to my fried apple fritters, too. We love them: https://thesouthernladycooks.com/2011/08/30/amazing-fried-apple-fritters/
