This was the best hot dog sauce like Georges Hot dog sauce in New Jersey.. Been making it for years.. Awesome sauce..
Another Kingstonian weighing in here… Delicious recipe! I would have a hard time telling the difference between this recipe and an original Dallas Dog. The only adjustments I made were to add about a 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and reduce the cinnamon by half. I also added a bit of tabasco to give it a bit more heat. Now if I could only find a copycat recipe for Uncle George’s Hot Dogs! Thanks, I will be making these again!
Spot on. Clone like for both Uncle George’s and Dallas Hot Wieners in Kingston and saugerties. Thank you!
The smell just like I remember. Grew up in Kingston went to Dallas all the time. Fabulous thank you !
Taste was spot on and I grew up In Buffalo where this is made at every Greek restaurant and speciality shops like Zorba’s Louie’s etc.. Going to add this to my considerations at my new restaurant in Big Bear CA. I used Ground beef and Ground Hot dog though.
I’m from Wellsville, NY home of The Texas Hot. For those of us who are too far away to get the original easily this recipe is nearly perfect. I do two things differently. I boil one lb. of ground beef in two cups of water as the Smoky Rib BBQ wizard showed me on YouTube (in addition to the ground hot dogs) and I use only 4-1/2 cups of water.
Spot on to the sauce i grew up on. Brings me back to eating dogs at the texas hot cafe
Born & raised in Ulster County, Kingston, NY, love this place, made the sauce, perfect.
I grew up 10 miles outside of Wellsville, NY in Andover. I haven’t had a hot in a long time and I Live in FL. This is really close and the best I’ve had in quite a while. I would suggest cutting the red pepper down a bit as I don’t remember them having this kind of heat. Otherwise, very very well done sir! Also, this is extremely important. You have to put some mustard on it to “activate” the sauce. Not much though. Maybe one or two passes up and down the hot dog. Also, you have to use an all beef Frank. Don’t try this with a nasty turkey dog. ??
Just as I remember it. Thank You so much. I even tried adding 2 bouillon cubes. Gives it that little bit more dept of flavor. Now I have no reason to go back to Newburgh NY. LOL
This sauce is just about perfect. I grew up in Jamestown NY and there still is a place there that makes sauce that’s just about this version. Thank you for sharing it! Six Stars!!
closest i’ve ever tasted to that of uncle Georges on broadway kingston—mike would never give me the recipe but the one hint he did say is the greek would never throw away unsold hotdogs–now i get it
I grew up around Jamestown, NY and there’s a place called AJ’s Texas Hots and I’ve been to TexasHots in Wellsville, NY (must stop every time we go back home) and I have to tell you the truth about this recipe. It’s exactly the same if not better. I made a double batch for company this weekend thinking they could take some home with them but there’s no way my husband is giving it up. The added bonus of the house smelling just like those amazing restaurants was priceless. Thank you so much for this recipe.
It is called Texas HotDog sauce because it was created bythe TexasHot restaurant in Wellsville NY, grew up going there in the summers my grandparents lived and eating them fresh made in their restaurant this recipe is spot on!
This isn’t even edible, let alone close to the flavor of texas hots sauce. The picture in this recipe looks exactly what I was after. What this recipe produced, however, looked more like a red chili that smelled of vinegar and cinnamon. I was hesitant so make this because the 6 cups of water sounded like a lot. Even after reducing by half, it was incredibly bland. Nasty stuff.
Being from the Hudson Valley in NY, I knew exactly what it should taste like. I have tried many different recipes trying to find just the right one. This is perfect. I didn’t have any white pepper to add, but still tastes perfect. Thanks for your work finding the right ingredients to put together.
I can’t thank you enough for this recipe! I grew up in Kingston eating Dallas Hot Wieners as well as Uncle George’s. Missed them so much. As soon as this sauce started to come together I knew it was close to the real thing. The smells brought me back to my childhood and the sauce did not disappoint!!
I grew up in Buffalo NY and have been trying to find a recipe for Texas Hots sauce. This is near exact.
