what kind of chili sauce do you recommend? Is there a particular brand? To me, chili sauce is really hot, red sauce that I had in Mexico--almost like tabasco sauce; I'm thinking this must be something different? I think my kids would like this as long as it is not spicy!

I usually buy Heinz, but even a store brand is usually just as good! It isn't a hot sauce at all, let me try to describe it to you.... it is really a sweet sauce and the ingredients are usually like this:

Sugar, water, pickled red chilli, vinegar, garlic, salt, stabilizer: Xanthan gum

If a recipe calls for it ;it does give it that special umppp, so I wouldn't leave it out. I find mine near the ketchup in the groceries usually. Hope that helps; if not let me know!

thanks for the description! I'll look for that when I go to the store.

No problem, I guess if you can't find it ( you know how different groceries put things in different places LOL)go to the customer service counter and ask. Let me know if you find it or not. I use it even in my baked beans!
