You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dogs

By: Judy Nix 
"Planning a Fabulous '50s party to surprise my sister for her birthday got me humming. Recalling popular songs from the decade gave me the idea for a clever name for the chili dogs I served. Like Elvis' tune, they were a big hit! -Judy Nix, Toccoa, Georgia"

It tastes ok, but, it's pretty ketchupy. I was looking for a thinner sauce that I am use to in NY.
