  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Add the onion and garlic and simmer, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes, until the veggies have softened.
  • Stir together the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and brown sugar.

Notes

  • Honey-Glazed Swiss Chalet Sauce. To make a sweet and sticky glaze that goes well with chicken and pork, simply add honey to the original recipe. Simmer the sauce over low heat until it thickens and coats the meat for the best glazing.
  • Spicy Swiss Chalet Sauce. Add some chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce for more spice. The little heat will be a welcome addition to your food.
  • Mustard Swiss Chalet Sauce. In order to give your sauce a more tangy and zesty taste, try substituting dijon or yellow mustard for the ketchup. The sauce’s flavor will be elevated by the addition of the mustard’s tangy, spicy kick.
  • Garlic-Lemon Swiss Chalet Sauce. The addition of one minced garlic clove and the juice of half a lemon gives this dish a lively and revitalizing taste. Garlic’s mild but savory undertones will pair well with the lemon’s refreshing acidity.
  • Creamy Swiss Chalet Sauce. To produce a smoother sauce, stir in a cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt. The sour cream will add a silky smooth texture and a little tang to the sauce.
  • Coconut Swiss Chalet Sauce. Add a quarter cup of coconut milk for a tropical twist. The sauce’s sweetness and creaminess from the coconut milk make it ideal for seafood like fish and shrimp.
  • Bacon Swiss Chalet Sauce. Bacon is loved by everybody. To give the sauce a smokey and salty taste, stir in a couple of fried bacon slices. The addition of bacon will give the sauce a rich, savory taste that will be a big success for the diners.
