Spicy Cajun Sauce

Servings: 4-6

1 medium onion, chopped
¼ cup water
2 14 ounce cans Cajun-style stewed tomatoes
1 15 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn kernels
½ teaspoon chili powder
dash or two of hot sauce

Place the onion and water in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens slightly about 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well and cook for about 10 minutes until flavors are well blended. Serve hot.

Hint: To make a thicker sauce, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/3 cup cold water. Add to the sauce and cook and stir until thickened.
