Texas Hot Sauce
by: Paul Suto

This is a Hot Dog Sauce perfected by me in 1955. It is a must at family
picnics. To Serve: Grill hot dog, toast or steam bun. With hot dog in bun,
spoon chopped onion over, 1 slice dill pickle, a good amount of horseradish
mustard, and a generous amount of Texas Hot Sauce. Enjoy.

Ingredients
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground beef
2 hot dogs, finely diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon browning sauce e.g. Gravy Master(tm)
1 teaspoon browning sauce e.g. Kitchen Bouquet(tm)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
8 cups water
3 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 1/2 cups dry breadcrumbs

Directions
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and
cook until soft.
2. Stir in beef and pork and cook, stirring frequently until brown.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in hot dogs. Saute for 3 to 4
minuets. Drain off any excess fat.
4. Stir in the browning and seasoning sauce, browning sauce, pepper, salt,
tomato paste and water. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for
1 hour, uncovered. Stir occasionally.
5. Stir in the paprika, chili powder, cinnamon and parsley. Taste and
adjust seasoning, if necessary. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and
let cool.
6. Using a hand held mixer blend the bread crumbs into the sauce and it's
ready to serve!
