Hot Dog Sauce

 After making this a bazillion times, I figured I'd save it on my blog instead of looking for an email every time. For some reason, this is called the authentic Greek hot dog sauce, but I haven't been able to find out what the origins are. Whatever they might be, it is delicious!

What you need:

• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp butter

What you do:

• Brown the beef and drain it
• In another pan, melt butter and add all the other ingredients
• Bring to a mild boil and simmer for 30 minutes
• Stir in the browned beef
• Top your hot dogs with it and enjoy!

Note: original recipe called for putting it all in a blender, and we tried it both ways. We much prefer it not blended.
