Beasty BBQ Sauce

Some of the most rewarding moments for me in the kitchen are when I am able to recreate recipes I didn’t think possible. Before I was paleo or knew how to cook, I was addicted to eating large pepperoni pizzas smothered in Ranch dressing and BBQ sauce. Those stories are for a lot longer post and I already wrote it. You can read about the 26 things you didn’t know about me or about my struggle with binge eating and bulimia. Being able to make foods at home that blow processed, gmo’ed, junk foods out of the water with taste is really supportive when maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It’s also a lot cheaper.

Homemade BBQ Sauce

I have people ask me all the time how to make bbq sauce. You can get on google and there are a few million results on how to make bbq sauce or specifically homemade bbq sauce. I am going to share a super secret, you only need two tools and some fresh ingredients. The two tools you need are:

• A large stockpot
• An immersion blender

That is it. To break down the process for making homemade bbq sauce almost seems too simple to be real. I was thinking about making it an infographic but it would be so small it wouldn’t even make a good text message. Here are the three steps to making an amazing homemade bbq sauce:

1. Combine all of your ingredients in your pan
2. Bring to a simmer for 60-90 minutes
3. Blend with your immersion blender and enjoy

One of my favorite things to do is to make double or triple batches of this recipe and keep them in the freezer so I NEVER run out. Seriously, you can use this bbq sauce on anything you can imagine. Some of my favorite ways to use this sauce is on:

• Smothered on Pulled Pork
• On BBQ Ribs
• On BBQ Crockpot Chicken
• Poured over some steak and over easy eggs
• And with a spoon all by itself

What is your favorite recipe to use this BBQ sauce with or your favorite way to eat it? Leave me a comment below so I can try something new.

I feel like that is enough information about bbq sauce today. The only thing missing is the official taste testing research that you get to go start now. Please come back and report your findings so we can update our research :)
