Ialso worked at Macheesmo Mouse(several different locations in the Portland area) and to this day fantasize about that boss sauce. The recipe was a very guarded secret…All I know is orange juice and brown sugar…Hmmmm.

You know there is already a sauce called Macheesmo Mouse Boss Sauce, Right? It was trademarked by Macheesmo Mouse, Inc. a looong time ago. I would re-think the naming of that sauce. THAT is why people are searching for it. Maybe next time do a bit more research…don't you think?

I know that orange juice is one of the secret ingrediants. My roommates in college worked there and the recipe was this huge, if I tell you I'll have to kill you, sort of secret. I had a craving for it tonight. I wanted what we called the Famous #5. Black beans over brown rice, cheese, fresh salsa, lots of cilantro, and tons of boss sauce. Sometimes shredded chicken as well. Macheezmo Mouse was the bomb.

We had a Macheesmo Mouse in Lynnwood, Wa, which I LOVED, I too thought that the BOSS sauce was the best I had ever had, I would literally sell my soul for that recipe, God, if anyone knows this, please let this recipe be known! Andy

Hey there,
Having just found your page my searching for “Macheezmo Boss Sauce” myself, I thought I’d explain a bit. There used to be a Mexican restaurant in Portland (Oregon) called Macheezmo Mouse that used something they called “Boss Sauce” on many of their burritos. They sold it by the cup-full as well. You could put it on anything, really, and I’ve never been able to find anything else like it. It was a thin dark brown, spicy (yet sweet), and delicious. Anyway, the restaurants closed years ago and now their secret sauce remains a secret. I’ve been searching for it to no avail.

Good luck with your new (unrelated) version!

@CookingDM-Fan. I actually used a vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce for my version because I live with one and he wanted to try it.

You can find the veg version at fancy stores and it tastes pretty close to the real stuff.

Looks like a very decent condiment: yet I have some remarks.

Worchestire-sauce is not vegetarian (uses a little bit of old fish oil). Not that I care, but still you might have some discerning readers that do!

Use appropriate tagging when applicable >:D

Strawberries are an awesome touch, one of those more sour than sweet fruits, but I suppose for the holiday season you could use cranberries instead.

Ever made lemon flavoured oil? Might be a nice touch as well, if you like lemons.

Getting habaneros, and proper tomatoes is tough outside of season … Near impossible where I live.

I guess I'll stick to the canned Italian stuff :)

Happy cooking!

Looks like a killer sauce. Adding the strawberries is an interesting twist I hadn't thought of before when making BBQ or hot sauces. Definately something new to try out!

Anytime a sandwich of any kind uses a bun , it should always be toasted. It would quickly get soggy if the sandwich filling is a wet filling.

You could definitely substitute the strawberries or just leave them out entirely. There is a lot going on in this sauce.

I would maybe pick some other berry over apples (raspberries)? Something with a tartness to it. But at the end of the day they are kind of optional.
