Special Hot Dogs

This is our family’s favorite way of eating hot dogs. It is inspired from the Brazilian street vendor recipe. This recipe can be increased to feed as many people as you have hot dogs. Increase the vegetables as desired. The sauce also freezes well and can be used for future batches of hot dogs.
