In a cooking pot with oil, saute the onion. Then add the bell pepper, saute a little bit, and let it simmer in a medium temperature.

When the onion looks caramelized, add the ground garlic, Italian pepper and chicken base. Saute to mix it all and let simmer for about a minute.

Then pour the ketchup and the tomato sauce and stir evenly.

Add the brown sugar and stir. If you want to add mustard, this is the time. Let it simmer for about 1or 2 minutes.

Pour the cup of coffee in the sauce and stir. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
Taste the sauce to add salt. Basically it doesn't need salt but some people like sauces a bit strong. If this is your case, season as desire.

Remove from the burner and let the sauce sit for a couples of minutes.

Great with spare ribs and pork chops.

Enjoy!!!
