Hallsy's Kithcen's Hot Dog Sauce


Please visit our new site at www.CookingMyWay.com




I found this recipe on YouTube from a guy name Hallsy... He says it came from a famous hot dog company that you should probably know. It did remind me of one I like. I thought they used cinnamon instead of curry powder. It was ok but the house smelled like curry and the STBW didn't like that too well...

1 Lb Beef, minced
3.5 tsp Chile Powder
2.5 tsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Nutmeg
2 tsp Onion Powder
.5 tsp Black Pepper
1.5 Cups Water

Brown the beef in a skillet. Once the beef is done, drain off most all of the fat. Add the chile powder, curry powder, nutmeg, onion powder, and black pepper and mix into the beef well. Cook for 1 minute over medium heat then add the water. Bring mixture to a simmer, cover and let sit for an hour. You can add more water if the mixture gets too thick. Load on top of a good hot dog, Eat & Enjoy!

Happy Dogging!

If you would like to make it a bit healthier you can replace half the beef with a half pound of turkey - If you want to use all turkey then you need to kick up the spices a bit. I've never tried it but if you really wanted to you could use a tofu Hot Dog and replace the meat with tofu crumbles.

Pimento Squeeze Errrr Cheese


Please visit our new site at www.CookingMyWay.com




1/4 teaspoon Cayenne
1/2 cup mayonnaise
.5 cup grated Monterrey jack cheese
1.5 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1.5 oz cream cheese (half of a 3 oz package)
2-3 tablespoons pimentos, diced
Black Pepper

The easiest way to make this dish is to bring everything to room temperature, through all but the pimentos into a food processor and blitz it all up. Add the pimentos and fold them in. You can put it into a bowl and use your hands or a spoon to bring it all together. It's an easy dish to make and you can be somewhat creative with the cheeses you use. Make sure you let it sit for a bit after you bring it together so everybody can get happy with each other. It makes a great grilled cheese sammy, or it's good in mac n cheese...

Happy Cheesing!

Ok this is one of the first cooking videos I ever made. It may say it's episode 13 but really it was the second video I ever did... I'll admit it's pretty bad, and it's not the one I made for this recipe, but it did make a good pimento cheese... I will be doing another video with this (my new fav recipe).
