Carolina (Vinegar) BBQ Sauce
by:
This is my go to sauce for just about everything. I don’t typically use it for beef, but it goes great with nearly anything else. Pair this with my Magical Meat Sprinkles seasoning and you’ve got a winning combination. This sauce is mustard/vinegar based just like Carolina style sauce, but has a heavier consistency making…

Kansas City (Sweet) BBQ Sauce
by:
This sweet Kansas City style BBQ sauce is delicious. Inspired after making meatballs and adding grape jelly, I thought, why not in BBQ sauce. Works wonderfully with chicken and pork. Just a good with fries or tots!!

Bacon Butter Paste
by:
Just about any butter paste promises to add lots of flavor to your meat, but add bacon and it’s just that much better. This thick paste rubs on to turkey or chicken to add lots of flavor and moisture.

Rib Sauce
by:
I needed a good sauce for brushing on my ribs the last 30-60 minutes of cooking. I put this together using the traditional ketchup, but I wanted to reduce the sweetness to prevent taking away from the flavor of the ribs. The sautéed onions in this recipe do this perfectly, leaving you with a great…

The herbs in this give your meat a lighter, even refreshing, finish. At Thanksgiving, we use this every year on one of our turkeys and it consistently results in a wonderful tasting, and looking, bird.

Pepper Marinade
by:
I don’t make this marinade very often, although I wish that wasn’t the case. I’ve used it on beef jerky to give it a nice peppery finish. It’s probably one of my favorite seasonings but it provides more kick than the rest of the family cares for. Alas, that means it mostly sits on the…

Alabama White BBQ Sauce
by:
Creamy and tangy, this sauce goes great on beef, chicken and just about anything else you put it on. I was out at a smokehouse restaurant once when I tried an Alabama White sauce the first time. I immediately came home and worked to recreate it. Did I get it right??? I think it’s even…

Cuban Marinade
by:
I used to use a store bought marinade to put my chickens in prior to smoking them. Then I started using this recipe, which results in an aromatic and fresh mixture, perfect for chickens and other meats too. It is citrus based, giving it a great acidity that will tenderize meat. The onions, garlic and…

by:
Thanksgiving dinner just isn’t complete without a delicious gravy to smother your mashed potatoes, dressing, and turkey. I’ve used this homemade gravy for years and it never disappoints. That said, making this gravy is an all day event, so start early!
