JDawgs were made famous at an off campus shack for students to grab a bite between classes. My kids rave about them so I was excited to try "the sauce" for our 24th of July un-celebration. Then I also scored a BIG deal by finding Brioche Hotdog buns at Walmart! They are buttery delicious! You know how some times you are choking down the bun when eating a hotdog. Not these. This will be a new family favorite! They are also split down the top middle to pop your dog into on top. Clever! I used Ballpark all beef hotdogs. ( add fresh "hand shucked" corn on the cob and you'll do a happy dance.) ("What About Bob" reference) There are a few variations of the recipe on Pinterest. I think I used one by the Food Charlatan with variation.
The Best Hot Dog You Will Ever Eat (JDawgs Special Sauce Copycat)
Makes about 1 and 1/2 cups sauce
For the sauce
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Rays)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (some recipes call for soy sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- dash black pepper
To assemble
- large all-beef or Polish hot dogs (Costco has the best!)
- large buns (The ones at Costco fit perfectly) But I (Marilyn) found a NEW FAVORITE bun- Brioche hotdog buns at Walmart!!!!
- butter
- white onions
- sauerkraut
- pickles
Mix the sauce up all together and boil for a few minutes, then serve or refrigerate (even for weeks!)
