BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICHES WITH HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE
This is by far the best pulled pork sandwich I have made by far. Even though it takes such a long time to roast, and the basting process, it's well worth it!! This is an Emeril Lagasse recipe. This takes about 20 minutes active prep time, 4 hours and 30 minutes inactive prep time. and 7 Hours of cooking.

Steps:
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours.
- Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired; I just love the crunchy bits of skin left on top! Using 2 forks or your hands, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Serve with sauce and buns to make sandwiches.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste begins to brown. Add the water, cider vinegar, and dark brown sugar, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have come together, about 15 to 20 minutes.

CROCK POT PORK CHOPS IN HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE
This is a really easy and tasty recipe. I like to make this with a pasta salad and steamed veggies. I prefer to use pork chops that do not have the bone since the crock pot will make the meat so tender it will fall off of the bone.

TEXAS HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE FOR CANNING OR OAMC
Ok, in TEXAS we do NOT cook with sauce! It is only used as a condiment to top anything we want or to dip things in. There have been so many arguments started over whose is best- but we all know Mama's is best! This makes a bucket load so use the tool to change the number of servings or freeze, can or give away the rest. "Samantha in UK states that this is not safe to can as it has butter in it. I have never had a problem but please be aware of that info. If you are concerned please try substituting with ButterBuds / Molly McButter type butter substitute or do not can. Freezing is another option as well " If you do decide to can this use a Boiling Water Bath, process half-pints and pints for 20 minutes at 0-1000 feet in elevation, 25 minutes for more elevation.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-low, and brush the grate with oil.
- Season both sides of the chicken legs with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and cook, adjusting the chicken's position and turning the pieces occasionally, until it appears to be about halfway cooked, about 15 minutes. Then use a basting brush to brush the chicken legs with the barbecue sauce, and continue to cook, turning the pieces frequently and reapplying barbecue sauce each time the chicken is turned, until it is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 to 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the chicken hot or warm.
PULLED PORK SANDWICHES WITH HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 34
Steps:
- Step 1, Make the Creole Seasoning ("Bayou Blast") Set aside2 tsp of the seasoning for the BBQ sauce. Step 2 - Prepare the pork with a Weber: Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Prepare the briquettes using a "chimney". (I never use lighter fluid). Soak wood chips for 30 minutes, drain. Set one (or two) foil pans into the center of the grill. When the briquettes are white, pour onto one half of the weber, then set soaked chips on top of the coals. Place the seasoned pork above the pans (not on directly on the coals). Cover and open vent holes 3/4's (over the meat, opposite the coals). After one hour, the meat should begin to have a crust. Add more briquettes and chips. Every hour, add more briquettes (and chips, if desired) until cooked to 195F. We cooked a 4 pound pork shoulder butt and it was ready in about 4 1/2 hours. OVEN DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 300F. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours. Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired. The safest way to pull pork is to wear clean rubber gloves, simply grab the pork and pull. Or, you can use two forks to shred the pork. You can serve the pork several different ways. We prefer to let people add their own BBQ sauce and to decide if they want to stack the cole slaw on top or eat it on the side. Some people like to serve this between white bread and with a pickle-- I like to make homemade hamburger buns and add some BBQ sauce. The Weber technique imparts the most delicious smoky taste and make delicious "burn ends"-- the crunchy, crusty pork crust... so good!

HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE
I have been tweaking a couple of BBQ sauce recipes and came up with one that I am really happy with. I am putting it here for safekeeping. I guess I would describe it as sweet, spicy and slightly tangy. If you would like it to have a little more kick, you could add 1/4 teaspoon more of chili powder. Please feel free to tweak my recipe to make it your own. I look forward to your comments.

Steps:
- 1. In frying pan, brown ground beef til no longer pink, breaking up into very small pieces as you cook. (If you leave it in larger pieces/chunks, the meat won't all get coated as much, and won't be as good. Will also fall off the bun more easily.) Drain grease. Add rest of ingredients, stir well to mix. Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes or so, stirring ocaisionally. Serve on warmed hamburger buns or hawaiian rolls with a little american cheese if desired. *If using as a bbq sauce, simmer ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring ocaisionally. Grill meat (chicken, etc.) til just done or almost done. Baste well with sauce and cook 3-5 minutes longer. Turning and basting. **If baking instead of grilling, the bbq-style sauce can be added to the raw meat and baked the entire time at 350 degrees til done. (*Boneless skinless chicken breasts from Walmart take 30 minutes at 350. Uncovered.) I like the ones from Walmart the best, they seem to be the juiciest for whatever reason! HTH! :D
GRILLED STEAK AND EGGS WITH HOMEMADE LAGER BBQ SAUCE

- 2. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium-high. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and rub with the oil. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- 3. Grilled Eggs: Place a cast-iron skillet on the grill; add butter, oil or bacon drippings. Crack in eggs and season to taste (I like to use a blend of paprika, sugar and onion powder, plus salt and pepper). Cook until the edges are crisp but the yolks are still runny, 2-3 minutes. Plate the egg on top of steak and drizzle the bbq sauce on top of steak and eggs.
- 4. *Tip: Any extra BBQ sauce that is left can be sealed in an air tight container in the fridge and can be used at a later date.
