I came up with this recipe for Hot Sauce to please his palate, and everyone always asks for the recipe...
Texas Hot Sauce
2 15-oz cans diced Del Monte tomatoes, drained
1 can Rotel
1/2 bunch of cilantro, leaves only, chopped
1-2 jalepenos - seeded and diced
2-3 tomatillos, halved
1 tsp sugar
salt & pepper to taste
Dash of cayenne
Mix all in blender, puree. Serve with Tostitos dipping chips.
I can tomatoes every year, so I use one quart of my canned tomatoes when I make this hot sauce, however, the Del Monte tomatoes seem to have the best flavor, next to home canned tomatoes. I've noticed the quality of tomatoes really makes a difference in the outcome of the sauce.

I was going to ask you if you used tomatillos. They sure do add a nice flavor to salsa. I think it was a good choice if you want to cut the onions. I don't buy much in the way of canned goods, but I do always have canned tomatoes - Muir Glen Organic.
Of course, my husband always has a can of Wolf Brand chili in the pantry. It's not much different from a can of dog food, if you ask me My daughter calls to ask if I have an extra can so they can make hot dogs. People love this stuff!
