BBQ Sauce

Apple City BBQ Sauce

I use this as my base for tomato based sauce and just tweak it a little every now and then. Squeezing in a little lemon juice is a nice touch.

I never use precise measurements, but here is what I do for BBQ sauce:

Can of Coke/Pepsi/RC Cola (used a can of Coke once when I was out of brown sugar and decided I liked using this better), about a half of a cup of mustard, a lot of cider vinegar, a little hot sauce, a little Worcestershire, a little ketchup, salt, cayenne, garlic. Simmer and adjust ingredients until it is the flavor/consistency you like and add the juice of about half of a lemon towards the end.

I prefer a thin sauce heavy on vinegar. The main ingredients of most BBQ sauces are going to be ketchup, mustard, and some kind of vinegar. You can just play around with different amounts of each until you figure out what you like and can add in other things like hot sauce, sugar, salt, cayenne, Worcestershire, garlic, etc.

You could always google it. What kind of sauce are you looking for?

My favorite BBQ sauce is from Gates BBQ in KC (their restaurant is so-so but I love their sauce). Apparently the owner was on Martha Stewart at some point and made the sauce. It's vinegary and a bit spicy; I don't know that I would call it sweet but I think it'd be worth a shot.

LINK - Just note that it makes THREE QUARTS

yea I was in KC about a month ago and ate at Joes, Jack Stacks, and gates.

You're not being very specific. What type of meat? What style sauce?

I am partial to Big Bob Gibson's red sauce

Big Bob Gibson Red is one of the best store bought sauces...Williamson Bros Red is a good one too.

Coca Cola BBQ Sauce

I make this every time i smoke something or BBQ. It's better than majority of store bought stuff you'll get.

1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 cup A-1 steak sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
