Bit of brewdog IPA BBQ sauce. A local 'Indian Pale Ale' from Wales going into a 'Chilli Con Carne' that's not from Texas. Obviously. Or India.

100% fake.
Added to this was about 25ml of Dark soy sauce.

I add 2 diced red peppers. This is a cooked with a lid on for 10 minutes or so. Then left to thicken on a low heat with the lid off for 20 minutes.

Thickens up lovely when left to stand and often tastes even better the next day.

Thick, tasty - medium-hot on the heat (locals would say off the charts hot, but it really isn't that hot).
But you certainly remember what it is you had the following day. Champion!
Savoury, spicy, fruity, meaty - what's not to love - Texas or not, it's a lovely Autumn warming plate of grub.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
The vat I made of this is way too much for the 2 of us, so the rest is carefully stored in plastic tubs and kept in the fridge for upto 4 days. Served with fresh rice, it's a quick and easy 10 minute meal for after work mid week.
Always a winner.
I've heard of people making this with Coffee or chocolate?
Seems that there are limitless variations.
