Homemade American-Style Caramelized Onion Sauce

This homemade sauce offers a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. By slow-cooking onions until deeply caramelized, you build a robust foundation that blends seamlessly with ketchup, chili sauce, and a blend of spices like ginger and coriander. The result is a thick, glossy condiment with complex undertones and a hint of heat from tabasco. It is incredibly versatile, making it an excellent companion for burgers, grilled meats, or as a dipping sauce for fries.
