Annie,

You said you were looking for chili sauce recipes to go with your homemade doggies here are some I found on razzledazzlerecipes.com adn thatsmyhome.com. We don't have an A&W here in CT but I think you said you do (on the Lost Love posts) in WI so you might be familiar with their sauce.

I must hang my head in shame and admit that I only like Heinz Ketchup on my wiennies :(

Enjoy! Heidi

A & W Coney Island Sauce

2 small onions, finely chopped

5 pounds hamburger

64 ounces Hunt's Tomato Paste

64 ounces Hunt's Tomato Pur

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/3 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon pepper

1 tablespoon celery seed

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon salt

Brown hamburger and onions in a very large skillet; drain. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 3 1/2 hours, stirring frequently as it will tend to stick.

This freezes very well. To get that authentic taste, use only Kogel franks and rehydrate dry minced onions in boiling water.
