Notes
You can adjust the spice level to your preference by using more or less hot sauce.
You can also make this Creole Sauce with fresh tomatoes also.
If you make your own Creole Spice Mix, omit all the spices and just use 1 tablespoon of Creole Spice mix.
The sauce tasted better when made 1 day in advance.
