TEXAS HOT WIENER SAUCE



Texas Hot Wiener Sauce image

While living in the Mid-Hudson Valley of NY I fell in love with this style of hot dog, particularly the sauce. My wife was born there and she loved them as well. When we moved to Texas it was a surprise to find, 'There is no such thing as hot wiener sauce in Texas.' I did a lot of research and found the recipe is a closely guarded secret that I had to crack. After years of experimenting I finally created the same experience we only had back in NY. Serve on your favorite hot dog with brown mustard, diced onion, in a steamed hot dog bun. This sauce will be thin, it is supposed to be, it is not a 'chili dog' recipe. The sauce will thicken as it cools. It freezes well.

RUDY'S AT THE LOOP TEXAS HOT SAUCE



Rudy's at the Loop Texas Hot Sauce image

This is a copykat recipe I found on another internet site. I am not a hot dog fan but with Hoffman's German Franks and this hot sauce, I actually like them. I had tried making a copy of Rudy's sauce on my own, but this recipe tastes exactly the same as the one found at Rudy's on the shore of Lake Ontario just off the Oswego college campus.

Provided by Golfwidow7

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lbs. 85% lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped fine
3 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground allslpice
2 cuos chili sauce
1 cup water
1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust to taste) Franks is our choice
2 Tbsp. Worchershire sauce
2 Tbsp. yellow mustard.

Steps:

  • Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the beef and onion and cook until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is thickened. About 7 minutes. Transfer half of mixture to food processor and process until coarsely ground; return to skillet. Stir in hot sauce, Worcestershire and mustard. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: For a classic Texas Hot Sauce, choose a blend of cayenne, serrano, and habanero peppers. You can adjust the ratio of each pepper to achieve your desired heat level.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers before blending enhances their flavor and adds a smoky depth to the sauce.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh peppers, garlic, and onion will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients to ensure the highest quality.
  • Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. This also helps to thicken the sauce and give it a smooth consistency.
  • Add vinegar and spices: Once the sauce has simmered, add vinegar, salt, and spices to taste. You can use a variety of vinegars, such as white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar. Common spices used in Texas Hot Sauce include cumin, paprika, and oregano.
  • Taste and adjust: Be sure to taste the sauce as you're making it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more heat, vinegar, or spices to achieve your desired flavor profile.
