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.
