Sunday Football BBQ Sauce

[Kluden]

Alright, so I got bored trying to find the "ultimate" good BBQ sauce, so I decided to start making my own. Through the last couple years, I found out instead of just making your own base, just grab a bottle of the cheap BBQ sauce and add the following:

1) Add more Heinz ketchup - yes, it must be Heinz, and you should add 1/3 the amount of base BBQ sauce you are using.

2) Taco sauce (not salsa) - I prefer to store up a bunch of the "hot" variety from Taco Bell...but any will do, just don't use the ones with veggies in them. Add 1/4 the amount of original base BBQ sauce.

3) Varios fresh cut onions and peppers - This is personal preference, and you can always just put these right on the meat on the grill, but I prefer them to be in the gravy.

4) Hot sauce - Tricky one. I suggest using "Louisiana" brand, or "Crystal" brand. Both, you are thinking, are too damn cheap to be a good hot sauce. Well, when adding to a thick recipe like the above, these watery hot sauces mix very easily into the fray. Add amount based on your personal tastes.

5) Dried peppers - Add to taste all the peppers on your spice rack. I have about four, and usually put a little chili powder in as well.


Ok, that's it, and it is damn easy to make if you shortcut on the BBQ sauce. If you don't want to shortcut, then find one of the 5 million BBQ sauce recipes on the web and make from scratch.

This is obviously a bleamin' hot and spicy BBQ sauce, but if made correctly, you will have a nice afterglow of sweet tangyness to it.

I like the McDonald BBQ sauce!!

Found a way to do that one?

[Kluden]

I would bet good money you can find that recipe online somewhere. I myself need more kick for the gravy

how does it taste on ribs??

[Kluden]

This is probably not the best rib sauce. It all depends on what you are into. I personally love it on ribs, but get complaints that a rib sauce should be sweeter...so...it is up to your personal preference.
