When my BBQ team cooks in competition we use commercial BBQ sauces because quite frankly, we don't have the time to develop our own and there are some really good ones on the market. We use Blues Hog and Head Country when we compete. In competition we only get one bite to get a score from the judges so the flavors are very amped up. When we are at home and cooking BBQ for ourselves we prepare our Que a little bit differently.
I happen to love Kansas City Style BBQ sauces. Kansas City BBQ sauces are usually a bit thicker, always tomato based and on the sweeter side to balance out the heat. Here is a recipe I have used throughout the years. I can not take credit for it. The recipe was devised by Larry Mayes of the Two Fat Larry's BBQ Team and I got the recipe from Dr. BBQ during at a class we took. It is also featured in Dr. BBQ's Big-Time Barbecue Cook Book.
The recipe is very simple, only requires a saucepan and is cooked over low heat. Anyone and I do mean anyone can make this sauce. This sauce can be enjoyed by any member of your family. The name of the sauce is Thick and Sticky and here is how you make it.
Ingredients:
2 cups of ketchup
1 cup of dark molasses
1/2 cup of white vinegar
1 teaspoon on chili powder (we like San Antionio Red from Pendry's)
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of allspice
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of mace
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. As soon as the molasses dissolves you are done. There is no need to boil.
I hope you enjoy this ultra easy but delicious sauce.
