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

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

For a smoky flavor, roast the peppers and tomatoes before blending.
Use a variety of chili peppers to create a unique flavor profile.
Add a touch of sweetness with honey or brown sugar.
Balance the flavors with acidity from lime juice or vinegar.
Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes to develop its flavor.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet sauce is the perfect addition to any barbecue. It's great on chicken, pork, beef, or fish. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips. No matter how you use it, this sauce is sure to be a hit. So next time you're firing up the grill, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
