The Bomb BBQ Sauce

The Bomb BBQ Sauce

Nothing finishes your BBQ off like a rich, delicious sauce! I’ve tried my fair share of sauces but this one is the Bomb! It’s sweet, savory, mouth watering goodness compliments the homemade BBQ Rub. It only takes a few minutes to throw this together! A friend shared her recipe and I changed it to accommodate the ingredients I keep stocked in my pantry. It’s great on BBQ Pork, BBQ Burgers, beef hot dogs, sausage, chicken, veggie burgers, and so much more! The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. It’s a staple in my kitchen, I always have some ready to serve! Please leave a comment to let me know how you like it!

  • 4 TBSP Lemon Pepper Seasoning

Instructions
 

BBQ Seasoning Rub

  • Place all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Pork BBQ

  • For traditional Pork BBQ, purchase a Boston Butt. This is also sometimes called a Shoulder Roast. You may use other cuts like Ribs, Pork Loin or Pork Tenderloin.
  • Prepare the meat by rinsing and drying with paper towels. (I use a disposable foil pan for this step.) Coat the meat with a generous amount of the BBQ Seasoning Rub on all sides. Rub the seasoning into the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Smoke the meat according to your smoker and the weight of your cut.
    Another option is to slow cook the meat in a crock pot for 8 hours on low. Add 1 TBSP of Liquid Smoke Flavoring to get the smokey flavor. Cook time may vary depending on the weight of your pork butt. The general rule of thumb is that the meat should pull off the bone easily with a fork.

Directions: Combine all ingredients and stir until mixed thoroughly. Store in an airtight container. Apply generously to large cuts of meat; sprinkle sparingly on chicken, burgers, and other small cuts of meat. Let the rub marinate, covered in the refrigerator overnight. Smoke, or grill as directed for desired meat temperature.
