The chili sauce the hot dog vendors make is always so delicious. Now you can make it at home with this scratch-made Best Ever Chili Sauce!

Grilled Chili Cheese dogs are one of my favorite things from childhood. They are nostalgic for me and bring back so many fond memories of spending one-on-one time with my Dad. The chili dog sauce the vendors make was always so delicious but you just can’t get that same flavor from any Chili Sauce style topping you purchase pre-packaged.

Luckily, now that I’m married, my husband is a fan of grilled chili cheese dogs as well. So when we get a craving for Chili Cheese or Chili Slaw dogs, we whip up a quick batch of this tangy Chili Sauce. This sauce is also great on burgers, and even french fries topped with jalapenos, onions, cheese, sour cream and hot sauce.

Go ahead, give it a try!! Loaded Chili Cheese Fries are equally amazing!

  7. I finally got to try this and just couldn’t believe how easy it was to make a chili sauce. I used ground turkey in the place of ground beef and it was delicious.
