Recipes Main Dishes Heavenly Hot Dog Sauce 4.2 (195) 151 Reviews 19 Photos This is my family's favorite hot dog sauce recipe. It originates from West Virginia. We like it with a bite, but you can adjust it to your taste. We top our hot dogs with ketchup, mustard, this hot dog sauce, and finally some chopped onions — yum! This recipe makes a good amount, so you can freeze some and use it later.
