J Dawg Sauce - A Copycat Recipe

Now I am not a hot dog fan

so it took some convincing to

get me to try the local

J Dawg that serves

only beef hot dogs and Polish dogs

but they really were fantastic.

Hubby wants their sauce on

everything and although they

will sell their sauce to you,

I had to come home and try

to come up with a copycat

recipe.

A little taste testing and a

little intuition and I think

I nailed it!

It is three simple ingredients

ketchup and mustard,

of course,

and brown sugar,

lots and lots of it!

J Dawg Sauce Copycat Recipe

3 C. brown sugar, packed

1 C. ketchup

1/3-1/2 C. yellow mustard

(I like the 1/2 C.)

Mix all three ingredients together

in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.

Turn down the heat and heat through

until the sugar is dissolved.

If necessary run through a sieve to

remove any lumps.

Let cool and serve on hot dogs,

Polish dogs, and anything else

your little tastebuds crave.  Hubby

loves to put it on pizzas as his sauce

and just about anything else he 

might be dipping!

It has just that perfect punch

of sweet and sour and really compliments

the dogs.  I like mine with jalapenos

and pepperoncinis - gives the dog a

little kick!  They also serve it with

a huge pickle slice.  

Yup, even a non-dog lover can love these!
