Chilli Sauce

Add the garlic and mince and cook until crumbly (use a fork). Season with Garlic Pepper Seasoning.
Add the undiluted Beef Stock, tomatoes and Peri-Peri Sauce.
Simmer for 20 – 30 minutes.
Taste for seasoning.
Prepare in advance and re-heat for serving.

Slash the buns open along the tops, from end to end.
Pour boiling water over frankfurters in a saucepan, cover with a lid and leave to stand for at least 10 minutes.
Heat the buns in a low oven.
Mix the Basil Pesto with olive oil in a medium bowl.
Stretch each bun open and brush the inside with olive oil and Basil Pesto mixture.
Spoon 2 T (30 ml) of hot Chilli Mince over.
Insert warmed frankfurters into the buns.
Top with grated cheese, onion rings and bacon.
