• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1 tsp chipotle flavored Tabasco sauce (I couldn't find this kind, so I just used regular red tabasco sauce)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup water
• salt to taste (about 1 tsp)

Directions:

1. place all ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low for 8 to 12 hours.
