CHILI DOG SAUCE

Everyone has a favorite place that sells chili dogs with that "special sauce". We have one here too called Capitol Lunch. This recipe is a very close second to "Cappy's" that everyone is asking me "Where did you get the recipe?"

Provided by Red Hot Chili Peppe

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h20m

Yield 30-50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs 85% lean ground beef

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1 cup water

Steps:

  • In a 4 quart stock pot mix ground beef with worcestershire sauce and brown meat.
  • Add remaining ingredients and bring to a rolling boil.
  • Place meat into blender or food processor and chop very fine.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili dog sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chili peppers. There are many different varieties available, each with its own unique flavor profile. Experiment until you find a blend that you like.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce. Simmer it over low heat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than an hour. Overcooked sauce will lose its flavor and become thick and gooey.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the flavor is balanced and to your liking.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Chili dog sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes, from hot dogs and hamburgers to nachos and fries. With its smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor, chili dog sauce is sure to please everyone at your next party or cookout. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
