Webdood Barbeque Sauce

Webdood BBQ Sauce

After trying perhaps a dozen variations, I settles on this recipe for a most awesome BBQ sauce.  It's a little spicy, but it's the way I like it.  From 6/23/91


  • 1 CAN tomato sauce
  • 8 TBSP brown sugar
  • 3 serrano chiles, burned on a cast iron skillet with bacon grease
  • 1/4 TSP onion powder
  • 1/2 TSP garlic powder
  • 1/4 TSP cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 TSP oriental hot mustard powder (aka wasabi powder)
  • 2 TSP black pepper
  • 1 TSP liquid smoke
  • 2 TBSP worchestershire
  • 2 TSP salt
Obviously, you can tone down the heat by not adding as many serrano chiles, but I like this setup very much
