Every southern gal needs a tasty BBQ sauce recipe and I created this one last weekend upon the request of a friend. (Hi Brenda!) Why buy the mass produced, store bought sauce loaded with chemicals, when you can toss a few spices and other ingredients together in a sauce pan, heat the ingredients a couple of minutes, and have some of the sweetest, sassiest, most tongue tantalizing  BBQ sauce ever?  It’s that easy!

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Onion Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Celery Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Vinegar
  • ½ cup Ketchup
  • 1 cup Frank’s Chili Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Instant Coffee Crystals
  • 1 can Tomato Puree

In saucepan stir together the sugar and all the dry ingredients.  In a bowl combine  all the liquid ingredients.  Whisk to blend the liquid ingredients, then add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.  Cook over low heat until brown sugar dissolves.  Makes about 3 cups.  Store covered in refrigerator.  Use on poultry, pork, or even beef.

    I have never made my own BBQ sauce. Hubby puts stuff into the store bought and we like it. I’ll have to try this one out.
