Howdy Y'all!!!! I know its an odd post title but let me explain. When I was 16 years old I worked after school at this little country gas station that sold everything from fishing bait to Ham Sandwiches. But the most memorable thing that we sold and I had the pleasure to make was Hot Dog Sauce. This was not just your ordinary hot dog sauce, this stuff was addicting, people would come from all over Laurel Co. to get one, two or ten hot dogs with sauce. Some people and community groups would even order it by the pound. So today I give you my "Memorable Hot Dog Sauce." I have changed a few things to amp it up just a bit, but it pretty much remains the same.
"Sweet Crowing Rooster" you will want to make this all the time for family, friends or just anyone you know.
