Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
In this recipe I am choosing to make homemade BBQ sauce. Making homemade BBQ is not difficult, however, it does require you to have some additional ingredients on hand, such as ketchup, honey, and Worcestershire sauce, which could make this dish less convenient to make. The more convenient alternative is to use store bought BBQ sauce, which I do most of the time.
If you do choose to make this homemade BBQ sauce you will not regret it. It is simple, quick, and can be used for a lot of dishes. I have used this sauce before on baby back ribs, country ribs, beef bites, and even pork bites. It is also useful as a marinade, so if you like to marinate, give this sauce a try.
