Bubba's Best BBQ Sauce image

A hot-sweet sauce that is good on just about anything. You can use any kind of cola in this recipe, just don't use diet cola. It makes the sauce bitter.

BEST BBQ SAUCE YOU'LL EVER TASTE (SOUTHWEST)



Best BBQ Sauce You'll Ever Taste (Southwest) image

Here in Texas, we don't cook with BBQ sauce, but we love it on the side to spoon over our brisket, fajitas, chicken, etc and it has to have a little kick. I've been told over and over again that this is the best BBQ sauce they've ever had and I ought to bottle it. I love to cook, but I don't want to do it for a living--so enjoy it for free.

Time 1h20m

Yield 3-4 pint jars, 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups onions (chopped)
1 1/2 cups red bell peppers (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 cups ketchup
2 cups chili sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons liquid smoke
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 -2 tablespoon habanero pepper (minced)

Steps:

  • Sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic in butter, just until onions are translucent.
  • Add chili powder, and dry mustard. Stir to incorporate.
  • Lower heat and add remaining ingredients. Simmer on low for at least one hour.
  • Let cool then blend smooth in food processor or use a hand held mixer (a boat motor as Emeril would say).
  • Put up in mason jars. If you actually "can" the sauce it will keep for a month or so. (There are no preservitives so be careful). If not, use what you need, it will keep in the fridg for a couple of weeks, and you can always give the rest away--your family and friends will love you for it.
  • Note: Be careful with the habenero peppers. Use gloves or put a plastic baggie over the hand you use to hold the pepper while you slice it up. Use one for medium-hot BBQ sauce, use two for down right hot. If even one is too hot for your taste, substitute a couple of jalapeno peppers.

BEST EVER BBQ SAUCE



Best Ever BBQ Sauce image

This is the best bbq sauce I have ever had!!! This is a tweaked up version of the Neely's. I often quadruple it and can it into jars so I don't have to make it every time we want bbq. I often substitute molasses or honey for the sugar. To spice it up I add seeded jalapenos for some of the green pepper.

BEST CAROLINA BBQ MEAT SAUCE



Best Carolina BBQ Meat Sauce image

I can't take all the credit for this stuff. I have had to search, and snoop and experiment to get it right. (Thanks Big Daddy's!) But I've had barbeque in some of the best little places in the Carolina's, and this stuff rules there! Fantastic on pork! Or try brushing some on chicken as it finishes off the grill! Use fresh ground peppers for the best flavor. This will keep in fridge for a couple of weeks.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to BBQ sauce flavors. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavor combinations until you find a sauce that you love.
  • Cook your sauce low and slow: This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Taste your sauce as you go: This is the best way to make sure that your sauce is perfectly seasoned. Adjust the sweetness, sourness, and spiciness to your liking.
  • Let your sauce cool completely before storing it: This will help to prevent the sauce from separating.
  • Store your sauce in a cool, dark place: BBQ sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
