Summer is here and that means a lot of slow-cooker meals for backyard parties and a lot of cooking on the grill. While going through our recipe box, I found a recipe card that I had been looking for off and on for a while. It had a recipe from Kathy’s mom for a home-made BBQ sauce that we used to make all the time and got a lot of compliments whenever we prepared food with it. It uses ingredients that we all have in our cabinets or pantries and is very easy to make. There are a lot of good BBQ sauces you can buy at the store, but I have always liked this home-made one the best.
In a medium bowl combine the following:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup catsup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
1/8 tsp hot pepper sauce, like Tabasco
This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups.
Wisk the ingredients together until smooth. Brush on the meat, turning it frequently during the last 10 – 20 minutes of cooking, or pour it over the meat you have cooking in your slow-cooker. This is a great tasting BBQ sauce that goes well with beef, pork or chicken. We just used it with 2 small shoulder roasts in our slow-cooker, slicing the meat thin when done, pouring the leftover sauce over the sliced meat and making some delicious sandwiches. Try it and let me know what you think.
