But of course, this greek sauce tastes best on a Smith's hot dog, which you can now order online and have shipped to you :) Or, how about a fresh, perch dinner? My dad has the freezer stocked... Next time you're in town. Oh, and speaking of Mighty Fine, I picked up 2 dozen on the way to work last week--it was my turn to buy! Miss ya chica! (P.S. Greek Sauce Omelets as Panos are one of our new favorite breakfast items or late night alcohol absorbers :) )Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859748852940300750.post-55286195653793666502010-09-16T14:02:22.245-05:002010-09-16T14:02:22.245-05:00Update: Okay, I did in fact find a recipe for &qu...Update: Okay, I did in fact find a recipe for "greek" sauce. Daniel tells me it is in fact "chili". Whatever. We tried it and while the texture wasn't quite right, the taste was pretty spot on! And it's an EASY crockpot recipe. We also baked (lacking a deep fryer) some french fries and Daniel made a cheddar cheese sauce (I suggested Cheez Whiz, but I'm glad he blatantly disregarded my suggestion).<br /><br />Anyway, here's the recipe:<br /><br />1 pound hamburger (as lean as you can get it)<br />2 chopped onions OR 1/2 tsp onion salt and 1/2 tsp onion powder<br />1/2 tsp oregano<br />1/2 tsp chili powder<br />1/2 tsp sweet basil<br />1/2 tsp cayenne pepper<br />1/2 tsp garlic salt<br />1/2 tsp cumin powder<br />1/2 tsp black pepper<br />1/2 tsp salt<br />1 small can (8oz) tomato sauce<br />3/4 cup water<br /><br />Place all ingredients in crock pot. cook all day on low or 1/2 day on high.<br /><br />Note: Daniel did brown the meat briefly before putting it in the crock pot. We used raw onions, which, I don't know...I think maybe the onion powder/salt might work better in this case. Also, to my mind, this needs to end up a very fine texture (no clumps of meat), and would recommend putting it in a blender or food processor for a few pulses to get the right texture.<br /><br />Sounds gross, but it was SO good!cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507895793724303891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859748852940300750.post-91115533108301497922010-09-13T08:48:10.678-05:002010-09-13T08:48:10.678-05:00Mmmmm, now I'm hungry.
