Coney Sauce Recipe For Hot Dogs or Fries

I have never found a coney sauce recipe that I absolutely loved, until now!  Most of the recipes that I tried in the past were too sweet for my taste. But after several trials of combining various ingredients together, I have found the perfect sauce to put on top of not only our hot dogs, but over french fries as well.

As the weather begins to cool down, we tend to spend more time at the fire pit with family and friends. This includes having several Weiner roasts and chili cook-off meals over the fire.  We just throw the coney sauce in a crock-pot to keep warm and we have a thick and hearty meal. Of course, I prefer to top my coney dog off with a few diced onions, candied jalapenos and of course, shredded sharp cheddar cheese! 

And next time you go to make fresh cut french fries, add the coney sauce and cheese on top for an extra special treat that your family will love!
