GREEK HOT DOG SAUCE
Not tomato based and so close to what our local famous Hot Dog joints offer (here in Toledo it's Nettie's and Rudy's)! Passed along from my Uncle Bob who knew the owner of a local Hot Dog joint in the early 50's. Let me know what YOU think because I think it's GREAT! Freezes well and since a little goes a long way, I suggest freezing in smaller containers so you have it on hand when needed. Also makes a great gift for the chili dog lovers you know! Update 6/2013. Though I've stayed true to this recipe, I tried adding ground cloves and found it added another level of flavor that we enjoy even more than the local "Dog Joints" make. Simple change so if you make this regularly, give it a try!

Steps:
- Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and add all spices. Before heating, stir into a paste.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for one hour or until liquid is reduced to your liking.
- If you use very lean meat to avoid cholesterol, add a tablespoon or two vegetable oil (I don't suggest olive oil). It's the oil that brings the flavor to the tongue!

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.

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.
PANCHOS ARGENTINOS (ARGENTINE-STYLE HOT DOGS)
Panchos are Argentina's take on hot dogs-a street-food staple that features a vast array of toppings. Condiments typically include mayonnaise, mustard, and chimichurri. We swapped out the chimichurri in favor of a fresh salsa criolla, which takes just minutes to make with easy-to-find ingredients. It tastes even better the longer it sits.

Steps:
- Make the Salsa:
- Mix onion, bell pepper, and tomato in a large bowl. Add oil, vinegar, and lemon juice, then toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then toss again.
- Do Ahead: Salsa can be made 5 days ahead. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and chill. Let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before using.
- Make the Hot Dogs:
- Slice sausages in half lengthwise, going almost all the way through so they can be opened like a book, but are still attached on one side. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until hot. Working in batches, cook sausages cut side down, weighting down with a spatula or a small pot lid and turning once, until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Smear a generous amount of mayonnaise on both sides of buns. Arrange 2 butterflied hot dogs on each side of buns, cut side facing the bread. Top with mustard and a generous amount of salsa.

Tips:
- Use high-quality hot dogs: The quality of your hot dogs will make a big difference in the final product. Look for all-beef hot dogs with a good snap.
- Prepare the onions properly: The onions are a key component of a Greek-style hot dog. Make sure to slice them thinly and soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to remove the sharp bite of the onions and make them more palatable.
- Use a good bun: The bun is another important part of a Greek-style hot dog. Look for a soft, fluffy bun that will hold up to the toppings. You can also use a pita bread if you prefer.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with toppings: There are many different toppings that you can put on a Greek-style hot dog. Some popular options include mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, tomatoes, and feta cheese. You can also add your own favorite toppings, such as hot peppers, sauerkraut, or bacon.
- Cook the hot dogs properly: The last step is to cook the hot dogs. You can do this on a grill, in a pan, or in the oven. Make sure to cook them until they are heated through but not overcooked.
Conclusion:
Greek-style hot dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they are also a great party food. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a Greek-style hot dog that is sure to please everyone.
