Shack BBQ Sauce Recipe
1 24oz bottle ketchup
12 oz cider vinegar
1 oz ea. black pepper, garlic salt,chili powder.( by weight)
1 qrt grape koolaide
1 oz hot sauce
2 oz worchestershire.
2 oz spicy mustard
Wet Stuff
Mix in a large bowl:
24 ounce bottle of ketchup (catsup)
1 qrt grape koolaide pour some in the ketchup bottle and swoosh it around to get all the ketchup out( reuse the bottle fro the sauce)
Pour in plain ole cheap vinegar.
Put "wet stuff' in a LARGE pan, put heat on "high"
by the time it is approaching a boil, you will have "dry stuff' prepared.
Dry Stuff:
Since you dumped wet stuff out of bowl, why not use for 'dry'?
Into bowl, dump:
1 ounce of chili powder
1 ounce of black pepper
1 ounce of garlic salt (SALT, NOT garlic powder!!!)
1 -oz hot sauce or to taste
2-oz mustard good old yeller hot dog mustard
Stir
...btw, easier to put the mustard in last, and just swirl around till it looks like chocolaty brown tar.
Simmer
Dump all this stuff into pan on stove now approaching a simmer
stir enough to make it evenly liquid...bring to a boil and immediately lower heat to a simmer 30 minutes
Finish
That is it.
Remove from heat, pour back into bottles you saved, unfortunately, you will have an excess of sauce. Improvise, all life has dry rot.
You now have about a 1/2 gal + a little
*Notes
Do NOT futz with the amount of black pepper. I KNOW it sounds like a lot. Trust me on this.
Also remember garlic SALT, not garlic powder!!
Do NOT judge 'heat', as in taste, by sipping off spoon from pot, even if you were stingy with the Tabasco. Dunk a piece of bread into sauce and sample that way.
