Ingredients

  • 1 small can (8 fl oz/227 g) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz/237 ml) beef broth
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan.
  2. Heat over medium until it comes to a simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce and thicken.
