I make them with a base of tomato paste, boullion cubes, brown sugar, molasses, black pepper, cayenne, paprika (lots), bay leafs, and onions sweated in 5 or 6 strips of rendered bacon grease, and then if you haven't eaten them crumble the 5 or 6 strips of rendered bacon strips!

That sounds basically like what I might like. Only addition is to bake
them in the oven until they thicken.
