The Best Hot Dog Sauce

If you've ever visited Provo, Utah, you've most likely heard of a hot dog stand called JDawgs that serves the best hot dogs on the planet. They have a few tricks up their sleeve, but one of the best parts is the JDawg sauce that you can get drizzled all over your hot dog. This recipe is an amazing copycat. We always have a squeeze bottle full in our refrigerator. My two celiac kids don't eat hot dogs without it!

In a saucepan, combine 3/4 cup ketchup, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.....

.....1 teaspoon cider vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of freshly ground pepper. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Once it boils, stir and remove from heat.

Grill those hot dogs, toast your hot dog buns, and drizzle this delicious sauce all over it. You can add other toppings like onions, relish, sauerkraut, cheese, etc. We love this sauce so much that it can go solo and we are loving life!
