It's very simple, and can be made as hot to taste as desired (see below). This is very similar to restaurant style hot sauce in south Texas. I have played around with many different combinations, and this one seems to be the closest to what my family hails as the best.
2 cans crushed or diced tomatoes (15 oz)
1 can Rotel
1 can whole tomatillos (about 8 oz I think) or homegrown tomatillos, 3-4
1 tsp white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 bunch cilantro leaves, stems removed
1-2 jalapenos, unseeded, sliced
In your blender, add all ingredients, and blend just until mixed well. Don't overdo it. Little chunks are nice. Serve with Tostitos scoop tortilla chips.
NOTE: If you want really hot sauce, you can use the hottest peppers you can find. The seed is where the heat is, so always add the seeds if you want it hot. This is to taste. I use generally 1-2 unseeded jalapenos and it gives the perfect amount of heat for us.
RE tomatillos: I grow my own, but you can also buy them. Peel the skins off and simmer them slowly for about 10 minutes in a bit of water, drain, and then add to blender. Either canned or cooked both work great.
