This classic sauce recipe gets its heat from the homemade Creole Seasoning. So if you have a hot seasoning mix, add about half the required amount and adjust the next time. If you want to make it less spicy, or not spicy at all, I suggest making your own homemade seasoning and adjusting the amount of chili – or even omit it altogether. When I make this sauce for guests or for the kids, I only use about a half to two-thirds of the seasoning required.
