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.
