Hi, Phaedrus!
William requested a recipe back in 2021 for a hot dog sauce from
Charlie's Pool Room in NJ. I'm not sure exactly what his favorite
sauce tasted like, but my family loves this one.

"The preparation of the onion sauce differs from cart to cart,
this one may be thicker than some."

Decrease heat to low and sauté onions, stirring often, for 30 minutes, or until onions
are softened and translucent but not browned.
Add remaining ingredients and cook over low heat, uncovered and stirring often, for

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more crushed red pepper and vinegar, if desired.
