Heat the sauce in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat while the sausage and veggies finish baking. Stir occasionally.1 8 Oz.

Notes
Need a sub for smoked paprika? You can try regular paprika, but you'll lose the smokiness. Chili powder is a slightly different flavor, but will have some smokiness. You can also try using 1 part regular paprika combined with 1/2 part more adobo.
