Best Hot Dog Sauce

Ingredients

For the Sauce:

3/4 C Ketchup

3/4 C Brown Sugar

1 tbsp. BBQ sauce

1/4 C honey

1 tsp. cider vinegar

1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp. onion powder

dash of black pepper

To put together:

large beef or Polish hot dogs

large buns

butter

white onions

sauerkraut

pickles

banana peppers

Directions

1) To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and set over high heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture barely starts to bubble, then remove from the heat.

2) Let cool completely. If you like it colder you can put in the fridge or leave out for room temp.

3) When you are ready to cook the hot dogs, set the grill to medium heat.

4) Use a sharp serrated knife to make diagonal cuts in the hot dog a little more than halfway through. You want the cuts to make large W's all the way down.

5) Grill the dogs until they are as black as you want them. Should take about 3-5 minutes per side. Don't forget to flip them halfway. The dogs will curl into a smiley face because of the cuts.

6) Butter the inside of the buns and place on the grill. Leave them for a minutes or so, until they get slightly crispy on the edges. Don't over do it or they will turn stale.

7) Place the hot dog in the bun and top with tons of special sauce and any other desired toppings.
