Hot Dog Onions

"I love the push cart hot dogs, mainly because of the onions they serve on top...so I mixed and matched many different ingredients until I came up with the perfect combination for this recipe! This tastes just like the kind of onions I often would get from my favorite hot dog stands!"

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons corn oil
  • 1 extra large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Directions

  1. Heat the corn oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
