I've started bringing canned chili to work for lunch (it's easy, it's healthy, etc.). I've found some pretty decent stuff, but most of it has virtually no spice.

So I'm looking for a good chili hot sauce. By most people's standards, I have a pretty decent tolerance for spice, so I can handle some hot. Anyone have any recommendations for a hot sauce I can just stir into my canned chili?

No specific recommendations but do you hate your co-workers or something?

Canned chili is healthy?

Canned chili is healthy?

some of it is... lots of sodium, but low fat, good carbs, high protein.

try Harry's Habanero from http://www.boulderhotsauce.com/Categories.bok?category=Harry's+Habanero
Flavorful and hot but not so hot that you hate yourself the next day.

I like regular ol' Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce. Most other common, wide distribution brands are either too salty or have a bad tanginess:heat ratio.

Cayenne. Doesn't alter the flavor, but adds heat. You could dice up some jalapeno's the night before and add them just prior to heating up the chili.

Tobasco for teh win. It will make you fart real loud too when consumed with chili.

I would use Frank's Red Hot myself.

dave's insanity sauce!

I made some chili once and used some Chipotle sauce that kicked butt. Added a nice heat with some smokiness.

Tobasco, garlic tobasco and Franks for chili. Tapatio for eggs and anything mexican. Yeah, besides the high sodium, chili is pretty much a perfect food. Fats, Protein, and carbs all in proper ratio. and so yummy.

<snip> Yeah, besides the high sodium

It's downright rediculous how much salt they put in canned soup/chili/etc.

Here's Hormel's chili:

Sodium Per Serving: 1220 51%

yep - and there's probably 2 servings in that there can.

ok, so I went with some of this. I like Dinosaur's sauces, so I thought it was a safe choice.

Very good stuff. Nice flavor, lots of kick.

Dinosaur BBQ Devil's Duel hot sauce

toss a chipotle pepper in the pot when you are making a batch of chili...seriously, chili's one of the easiest things in the world to make, and you can make a big batch which easily lasts a week in the fridge.
