GREEK STYLE HOT DOG SAUCE

This one is a little different. It is supposed to be a copycat recipe of the Texas Lunch's hot dog sauce from Central Pennsylvania. It is not even close to their sauce -- but still, very tasty. Do not let the long simmer time scare you off -- it is worth it.

GREEK STYLE HOT DOG SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

Provided by bakersecret

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 cups finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon (3 cloves) chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat and saute onions until golden. Add ground beef, stirring to break it up, and continue cooking until the meat is completely browned. Mix in remaining ingredients then reduce heat to low and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to "marry". Makes about 4 cups sauce (enough for 12 to 18 hot dogs). Notes You can spoon this right out of the pot onto hot dogs as they come off the grill or, if you're planning on grilling a little later, transfer it to a disposal aluminum pan, cover, and keep refrigerated. It can be easily reheated on the grill by placing the container, covered with aluminum foil, on a grill preheated to medium heat. Heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the sauce is heating, grill hot dogs for 5 to 8 minutes, until browned and heated through. Place hot dog rolls cut-side down on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Then assemble the hot dogs, topping them with the sauce.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead.
Be sure to drain the tomatoes well before adding them to the sauce.
You can also add other vegetables to the sauce, such as onions, peppers, or zucchini.
If you like a spicy sauce, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Be sure to simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes so that the flavors can meld together.
Serve the sauce with your favorite hot dogs, sausages, or fries.

Conclusion:

Greek-style hot dog sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of foods. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new way to spice up your hot dogs, give this Greek-style sauce a try!
