Red Onion Hot Dog Sauce~Onion Sauce Recipe~Sabrett's Copycat~Independence Day~Noreen's Kitchen

Today I am sharing how to make red onion hot dog sauce. If you are a fan of the New York style hot dog and the carts from which they hail or places like Nathan's Famous, Gray's Papaya and a myriad of others, you know red onion sauce. It is the most amazing condiment to ever top a tube steak (that is what my step dad always called them) ever! Lots of onion and I mean a lot, simmered with vinegar, spices, sugar and tomato paste until it is a thick and unctuous sauce that just clings in all the right place. Perfect when combined with spicy brown mustard and just a smattering of sauerkraut this onion sauce is simply delicious!

I used to be able to buy the Sabrett's brand of red onion hot dog sauce at my local grocer in the cooler next to the hot dogs, but now it seems that none of the stores in my area even carry the Sabrett's dogs or any other thing in their line. So, I breathed a sad sigh of frustration and went to work researching this east coast delight. I wanted it for my hot dogs and I missed it so what do you do? You make it yourself!

There are many different recipes for red onion hot dog sauce, and they are very similar in nature, with simple variations depending on the spices that people have chosen to use. When you know the history of the sauce it becomes clear that it was a creation of a Greek man who had a hot dog stand/cart. I say this because most of the recipes contain cinnamon. This is a big flavor profile in Greek cooking so it made sense to me that it was in there. We have left it out of ours because Rick just doesn't care for it. We did not miss it.

Lots of people have indeed used red onions in their onion sauce. I have chosen to use sweet Vidalias and it was the perfect choice. I also saw a lot of people adding spicy brown mustard or table mustard to their recipes. I went ahead and added some dry mustard and it lends just enough heat without being to spicy. Some called for corn syrup, some for white sugar but I added brown sugar to deepen the sweet flavor. In went some tomato paste. You can use tomato powder if you like as well. Vinegar for tang and a bunch of other spices, salt and pepper.

This is mixed together with some water and simmered. I simmered mine for around 40 minutes over medium heat until it was reduced by about half and the mixture was thickened and deep in color. My house smelled amazing! I thickened things up with a corn starch slurry just to give this the extra added body it needs to drape over your dog. It is sheer perfection!

If you have never tried red onion sauce on your dog, I highly recommend it. This homemade version is perfect for us and I will be making it again in the future. This recipe made a ton. LIke three pints worth so I will be sharing some and then using the rest. It will last me the summer.

This recipe is not appropriate for canning. Because I know some of you will ask. Onions and the addition of corn starch make this a big no way for me. This will keep in the fridge in a jar for up to three months, if it lasts that long. You will want to put it on everything, I promise!

I hope you give this red onion hot dog sauce a try and I hope you love it!

Happy eating!
