This was tonight's dinner - Crockpot Cioppino. This
was terrific and just screamed out for hot sauce. We
bought a bottle of Frank's Xtra Hot Red Hot Sauce
today and that is what I used in it. So good.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I use Bumble Bee whole clams. It comes in a tall can
that has a yellow label. If you can't find the whole
clams, use a 6 oz can of Doxsee or Gorton's chopped
clams, not minced.

I found that this stew needed quite a bit of hot
sauce, that the red pepper flakes didn't give it
enough of a kick. If serving it to people who enjoy
chiles, add some hot sauce towards the end of cooking
to intensify the heat a bit.
