A rich and flavorful sauce perfect for topping your favorite hot dogs.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the finely chopped onion.
Sautéing the onion first enhances its sweetness and flavor.
Add the tomato sauce, water, barbecue sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and ancho chili powder to the pot.
Mix well to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
Mash the chicken bouillon cube into the mixture and stir until dissolved.
Dissolving the bouillon cube ensures a consistent flavor throughout the sauce.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat, cover, and let it cook for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Stir in the parsley, mustard, and honey, and let the sauce cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
Adding these ingredients at the end preserves their fresh and vibrant flavors.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite hot dogs.
Toast the hot dog buns for added texture and flavor.
