  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Collect all necessary components.

Heat the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, and then blend it with the onion, green pepper, celery, and garlic. Continue to cook and stir until the onion has become tender and the bell pepper is soft, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Combine the cornstarch with the mixture. Add the stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, Cajun seasoning, and hot pepper sauce to the combination. Bring the mixture to a boil by stirring constantly.
