What is Chili sauce? A Turkey Reuben sandwhich recipe calls for it. Tobassco? Sweet Chili sauce?

I am making a Turkey Reuben sandwhich from page 104 in the October Issue of food network magazine. It calls for 2-3 Tablespoons of chili sauce. What exactly do they mean? I have found sweet chili sauce as well as a tobassco like chili sauce? Please inform O brave warriors of the kitchen!What is Chili sauce? A Turkey Reuben sandwhich recipe calls for it. Tobassco?

It may refer to chili paste, if it's trying to spice up the sandwich.





However, seeing as how a Reuben is a combination of salty and sweet, I would say try the Sweet Thai Chili Sauce. It's got a spicy kick to it and sounds like it might go better with the sandwich. Trial and error. See what works best for you! :)What is Chili sauce? A Turkey Reuben sandwhich recipe calls for it. Tobassco? Sweet Chili sauce?
Chili sauce that I think you are referring to is the sweet variety. It's basically a ketchup type consistency with a relish like base. The one I am most familiar with is made by Heinz.

A regular Reuben calls for Russian or Thousand Island Dressing. Seems to me a Reuben recipe wouldn't call for 'hot' sauce, although it might taste great. I like hot. They probably mean the kind of chili sauce you find next to the ketchup in the grocery store. Heinz is the gold standard. It's kind of like a mildly spiced up ketchup.
