I'm sorry to say that I did not like this recipe at all. Maybe I was remembering the "sauce" that I had as a child, but this was not it. Sorry again. I ususally love the recipes that I make from this site.

My family loved it! We'll definitely have this a few times on "football Sundays" this year. I did add some minced onion and garlic, just because I had some around. Great flavor and excellent consistency.

This was my first attempt at making chili sauce for hot dogs, so I followed the instructions exactly. This was perfect, and everybody wanted more. I wouldn't make any changes.

Other than cutting the recipe in half, I followed the directions to the letter. I found that the flavors combined well. My only problem with it, is very minor. I think that the amount of sugar was still a tad to much. My wife could not taste the sweetness in the sauce but I could and to me it was just a tad to sweet. I am not a fan of sweet and savory in the same dish which is probably why I could really taste so much of the sweetness. Other that that, I could not in good faith give this less than 4 stars but because I know its my own issue with sweet and savory dishes that I still give this a 5 star rating! It does require some sugar but that will be for me to experiment with for my taste! Great job on the recipe!

Really nice texture to it. I made exactly as is, but I didn't put enough crushed red pepper in it. I would probably use about a tsp. When I make it again I'm going to add a can of green chillies to it.

i agree with how you make the chili by not browning the meat. too many big chunks of meat. i too am from WV and have had many good hot dogs there. people in the north or anywhere else does not know what a good WV hotdog is. Don't forget the cole slaw, made very simply, mayo, vinegar & sugar. Great on BBQ sandwiches too.

exactly what I was looking for - Unfortunately, I ran out of tomato sauce in the pantry, so I used a little condensed tomato soup and eliminated the sugar - just as good I'm sure!

I really like this recipe. I did cook the ground beef and let simmer as stated. After that, it wasn't the consistency that I wanted so I put it through my mini-blender. After I made hot dog chili baby food, I put it in my small slow cooker until husband came home. Used this with "Restaurant-Style Coleslaw I" to make West Virginia Dogs. Delish!

This recipe is good. Thought I used tomato sauce, but grabbed my spaghetti sauce instead and it turned out just fine.Also added cumin and added crushed red pepper, for a hotter sauce.

Very good. Add 1 can tomato paste and 1 tsp of salt in the last 30 minutes to give it a slightly more tomato taste. Kids loved it.

This was very well received at the community BBQ/potluck I took it to yesterday. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef, so I added a couple Tbs of beef flavored Better Than Bouillon to make up for the lack of flavor. Also, I discovered that I only had about 1 teaspoon of chili powder, so I added a chipotle bouillon cube. This made it too spicy for the kids that would be attending the BBQ, so I added about 3 Tbs of tomato paste.....PERFECTION! I'll definitely make this again. UPDATE: I made this again, using ground beef this time. We didn't care for it as much as we did when I made it with the turkey, but it was still good. I ended up with about half of the recipe left over, so the next night I mixed it with some cooked rice and made stuffed bell peppers. It was REALLY good that way!!

I LOVE THIS RECIPE! This is almost my recipe except to kick it up I add a few dashes of hot sauce and one dash of vinegar to cut the tomato sauce a little. I use brown sugar rather than white and I add extra according to taste - some of my family likes it a little sweeter, so I make it all different ways!i also add a tablespoon of mustard and one whole diced onion! I use more chili powder than this recipe as we like ours a little "bolder". I use only McCormicks Chili powder as I do not get the same results with every powder. HAPPY COOKING AND ENJOY THOSE DOGS!

I must've done something horribly wrong which is out of the ordinary for me. The outcome looked like ALPO and no one ate it. I froze it to make tacos with at a later date. I'll stick with chili!
