Trying it out

Okay, so we tried out the barbecue sauce the other day, and here are the results:


It was delicious. We just through the chicken, with a heavy dose of sauce on the grill, and fired it up.
We paired it with some mashed potatoes and other garden veggies. It was awesome. Hope you try it out and let me know what you like it on.
Thanks.

A little saucy

I have been on the lookout for an amazing barbecue sauce for quite a while, many years in fact. I have never been able to find one that I feel like I could eat with everything. After searching, I decided to try one of my own, that could go with most anything.
So, I call it Troy's Barbecue Sauce.
Also, as a tip, my wife and children will eat it. They don't really like barbecue sauce all that much.

Troy’s Barbecue Sauce

1 medium Onion (1 cup), diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups Ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
1 8-ounce can of tomato sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup vinegar
1 Tablespoon Liquid Smoke
1 teaspoon mustard
 
In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, Sautee the onion and the garlic until tender in the olive oil. Once tender add the ketchup, brown sugar, water, tomato sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, liquid smoke and mustard. Mix well. Bring to a boil then turn heat down to a simmer for a couple minutes. Once the consistency you want, remove from heat and let cool.
Once cool, place in blender and blend until smooth. Chill and serve.

A simple hello

I just want to start a simple blog about cooking and food. I enjoy outdoor cooking and cooking indoors as well. As the days go by, there will be many posts about what is happening in my life of food. Thanks for reading.
