Feeburger's Meat Hot sauce

 

I was excited to try this one for awhile. I used to talk with someone who made and had co-packed for sale one of the best Rochester Plate Sauces (shout out Jim and Hot Top Foods) I've ever had. So I've known about Feeburgers since 2017 or so. I just wasn't sure if they sold it in jars, nor did I know any websites selling it, as I don't live anywhere near upstate New York.

The jar is definitely accurate.. you can tell there's a good amount of beef in it from the texture, and it's not too hot, not too not. Just as the jar says. I think everything balances out perfectly. You taste tomato ketchup, you taste hot sauce, but neither flavor is overpowering the other. It's got a great tangy flavor and it's something I'd come back for over and over.

Ingredients: ground beef, ketchup (tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, natural flavoring), hot sauce (aged cayenne red peppers, vinegar, water, salt, garlic powder), water, sodium acid sulfate, yellow mustard (distilled vinegar, water, no. 1 grade mustard seed, salt, turmeric, paprika, spice, natural flavors, and garlic powder), garlic salt, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, cayenne pepper.

Zweigle's Hot Dog Sauce


"I" before "E" except after "C". Nope. I haven't read the list of ingredients yet but this just tastes like a classic New York pushcart onion sauce.

Tony's Newburgh Lunch Texas Sauce


This one has no ingredient list (or expiration date) on the jar. So for my comments I'm just going on what I think.

This one is kind of gelatinous in texture. Could that be beans mashed up? Is it unflavored gelatin? I don't totally like the mouth feel of this one. 

I assume there's meat in there. Lots of tomato, but not a lot of meat. Kind of soupy. Tastes like tomato and black pepper to me. Doesn't really have any other defining flavors. It's not even salty.

Not the worst I've had, but also not the best. It's not something I'm interested in buying again.

Because there's no date on the jar, I have to wonder what the turnaround is on their sauces.

Frank's Sassy Meat Sauce

 

Sassy describes something as lively or bold. I would say that's accurate, however, the only thing bold I really taste is cloves. It's got a hotter heat than a bunch of the other sauces I've tasted (my nose is running), but I think there's way too much clove flavor. Cloves are one of those spices you need to be careful when scaling up a recipe. Good sauce, I just wish it was more balanced in it's flavor.

Ingredients: ground beef, water, cayenne pepper, salt, chili powder, sodium acid sulfate, paprika, black pepper, cinnamon, ground cloves.

Chef James' Bourbon Meat Sauce

 



Delicious. This would be one of the sauces I re-order. Spicy, not super spicy, and a good sweetness to it. It does leave some heat lingering on you tongue the more you eat. Well balanced.. no one flavor in the sauce overpowers the other. Just the right amount of ketchupy goodness, the cayenne isn't too vinegary, everything just works together well. Some sauces only taste good when warmed up, this one tastes good cold also. I know from experience. I was lazy once and just poured some in a container to try on potato chips.

Ingredients: water, ground beef, ketchup (tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, cane sugar, salt, onion powder, spice, natural flavoring), cayenne pepper sauce (aged cayenne red peppers, vinegar, salt, garlic), molasses, mustard (distilled vinegar, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, spices), sodium acid sulfate, cayenne pepper, chili powder, beef base (oven roasted beef with natural juices, salt, hydrolyzed soy protein, onion powder, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate), sugar, paprika, cumin, granulated garlic, granulated onion, black pepper, bourbon.

Flour City Empanadas Meat Hot Sauce


 
I previously mentioned a sauce (I forget which one) that had some unique ingredients, but I think this one takes the title. Some of the ingredients I find unique would be banana peppers, teriyaki, soda and sesame seeds. The only sauce on the market with caffeine? Some of the flavors inside remind me of Don's Original, but less funky.. in fact well balanced. Hats off to whoever scaled this recipe up for production... not sure if it was Flour City or Craft Cannery. It's spicy, but not overly, just the right amount of salt as well. The slight heat builds as you eat it. It's got some tang going on from vinegar and banana peppers. My friend says he can really taste banana peppers. I don't think I'd recognize them unless I read the ingredients. I had this on mini burgers earlier today for lunch and now I'm having it on fries. If having the sauce twice in the same day says anything, it says I like it a lot.

Ingredients: ground beef, onion, banana pepper, water, carbonated soft drink (carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid & natural flavor), soybean oil, sesame seed, cayenne pepper sauce (aged red cayenne pepper, distilled vinegar, water, salt & garlic powder), apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar, teriyaki sauce (soy sauce(water, soybeans, wheat, salt), wine, sugar, water, salt, vinegar, sodium benzoate, onion powder, natural flavors, succinic acid, garlic powder), garlic, gluten-free soy sauce(water, soybeans, salt, alcohol), cayenne pepper, chili powder (chili pepper, cumin, oregano, salt, garlic powder, spices), beef base (oven roasted beef with natural juices, salt, hydrolyzed soy protein, maltodextrin, sugar, coin oil, natural flavoring, whey powder, rice flour, onion powder, disodium inosinate & disodium guanylate), cumin, coriander, sodium acid sulfate.
