BBQ Sauce


I found this very easy BBQ sauce recipe recently on a local Salt Lake City publication no less. The article had to do with NASCAR and barbecuing (which is another subject I would love to dig into).

Some of the tailgating specialties mentioned were: the giant BBQ turkey legs [in which this barbecue sauce would compliment very well!], tailpipe taquitos,” foot-long hot dogs dressed with spicy chili, shredded cheddar, tomatoes and chopped onions, giant burgers topped with unusual toppings, Italian sausage, Polish sausages and Philly steak sandwiches.

As I mentioned earlier, NASCAR barbecuing would be an awesome topic to cover and it might just motivate me enough to get our message board going so our readers can get into some great discussions. Enough of the small talk. Here is the recipe appropriately called…

The Only Bar-B-Q Sauce You Need

  • 3/4 cup tomato ketchup
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 4 teaspoons paprika
  • 4 teaspoons mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a quart jar and shake well until dissolved. Refrigerate until needed. Use the sauce to marinate chicken for grilling.

Makes 4 to 6 servings. Recipe credit: Salt Lake Tribune
