  2. This was excellent. I think I like it even better than the regular chili gravy I used to make when I wasn’t eating keto. Bookmarked to make again!

    • Hi Robert,

      It all depends on where you are in the world! If you use the metric system a tablespoon is 15g – so 6 tablespoons, if you use imperial or a 20g tablespoon, it would be 4 tablespoons. I hope that helps!

  3. Hi Pat,

    Tomato Puree and Sauce are very different. Tomato puree is purely blended tomatoes and salt, it can also be called “passata”

    Hope that helps.
