Chili Dog Sauce

This sauce really can be used for just about anything. Put it on burgers, or even on a bun by itself. It's almost like a Sloppy Joe topping.


We both really liked this. We had it over grilled quarter pounder dogs, topped with melted Tillamook sharp cheddar. Good stuff!

I found the original recipe in Dr. BBQ's BBQ All Year Long. I picked up a copy at a book outlet in Edinburgh, IN. I highly recommend this book. It is full of great grilling recipes, from sides, to meats, to sauces and everything in between.
