Notes
- This is a basic BBQ sauce and anything can be adjusted to suit your tastes. It tastes pretty good on it’s own but sauces can be so subjective and easy to tweak.
- If you like really smoky sauce, add another tsp. of liquid smoke.
- If you like it sweet add a drop or two of EZ-Sweetz or use low carb ketchup.
- Like lots of onion? Add more. Just remember onions have carbs which is why I grate mine. Grating gets you the most flavor, punch and bang for your buck.
- Spicier? Add more Cayenne.
- More piquant? Add more chili powder.
- Like Worcestershire? Add some.
