List of Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter
2 quarts water
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons beef base
1/2 cup tomato paste
Thicken with:
2 cups cold water
1 cup flour
Recipe
Combine first seven ingredients in a large sauce pan or pressure cooker. Simmer in sauce pan for at least one hour (up to 3 hours) or cook in pressure cooker for 20 mins.
Combine cold water and flour and add to sauce gradually to thicken. Bring to a rolling boil for 3-5 minutes, remove from heat.
This makes enough sauce for two 9 X 13 inch casserole dishes.
You can cut the recipe in half, or freeze half of the sauce.
