  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (I used hickory smoked, but use whatever you like)
  • Salt, pepper, cayenne, and cumin powders to taste

  4. Add seasonings to taste. Will depend on choice of BBQ sauce Start with 1/4- 1/2 t. of each seasoning, except cayenne powder, where you may want only a dash! Adjust as desired.
