HOT AND SPICY BBQ SAUCE



Hot and Spicy BBQ Sauce image

This sauce is great on ribs, chicken, burgers, pork chops and steaks. This recipe is one of my brothers that he swears is his own creation. It is a Hot and Spicy BBQ Sauce, you don't have to use as much of the hot sauce as the recipe calls for. That is the way my brother likes it, "Nice and Hot".

EXTREMELY TASTY HOT AND SPICY TROPICAL BARBECUE SAUCE



Extremely Tasty Hot and Spicy Tropical Barbecue Sauce image

Okay....the name says it all, except that this is quick and easy to make! It uses items you grab off the grocery store shelves and throw together in a saucepan. Within 10 minutes you have a "WOW" tasting sauce. This isn't for a pork sandwich (although you could), but it is fabulous with grilled chicken, fish, or pork. Since the first review, I decided to add: If you can't find hot mustard based barbecue sauce, regular mustard based sauce will do, just add some dried red pepper flakes. The mustard barbecue sauce I use is very hot.

SWEET AND SMOKY BARBEQUE SAUCE



Sweet and Smoky Barbeque Sauce image

Use this toward the end of cooking as you would for any BBQ meat such as pork, ribs, or chicken. I have even used it on beef and hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, or anything you want, for the most part. I use it on everything from ribs to roasts to hamburgers to hot dogs. Even goes good with a good old classic grilled cheese sandwich. This is a great all-round BBQ sauce. Use right away or cool to room temperature, transfer to jars or containers, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months in the fridge.
