- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cocoa powder optional
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp onion powder optional
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
-
Heat the tomato sauce (I used a microwavable dish on high for 1 minute). Whisk in the seasonings. Heat a bit more (microwaved on high for 30 seconds.) Let it sit for the flavors to develop. You can heat this some more to thicken it.

If you’ve added broth/water and it is too thin, you can add a thickening agent (1 tbsp flour + 1 tbsp water) and bring it to a boil.
You can omit the cocoa and onion, or increase any of the ingredients. Add a dash of cinnamon…play with it using what you have on hand. The cocoa powder gives it a nice dark color. Want it spicy? Add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
