Kansas City Style Barbeque Sauce

I think I got it! After of few weeks of playing in the kitchen, I think I have my KC style BBQ sauce in a form that is quite delicious. Oh, yeah. This sauce is good. After making this sauce, I caught myself eating it like soup. Put this stuff on some smoked meat and you will be happy, happy. 
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 large onion, chopped
  • 1 x 15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch of cayenne pepper

Preparation

In a small saucepan, pour in the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and heat over medium high heat on the stovetop. Once the garlic begins to sizzle, add the chopped onion. Saute the garlic and onion mixture stirring often.

Once the chopped onion begins to turn translucent, stir in the tomato sauce and reduce heat to medium. Begin stirring in the remaining ingredients. Continue to heat the mixture for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes is complete, you will have a delicious, homemade, KC style BBQ sauce. Enjoy!

New Year's Eve - Ribs

We are getting ready to bring 2018 to a close. It is New Year's Eve and a beautiful, windy, cold, dark, 33 degrees Fahrenheit outside, which, in my book, is grilling weather! I recently acquired a Traeger Pellet Grill and I am eager to try it out on some baby back pork ribs. Let's get started. Step 1: Open a beer of your choice and pour the beer into a nice glass (I chose a nice vanilla porter from Breckenridge Brewery). Take a sip and set aside for later. It is important to sip some beer throughout the cooking process, because beer tastes good. Step 2: You will probably need some baby back pork ribs for this recipe. If you don't have any, go buy some. I have a party to go to tonight, so I am cooking four slabs, but it is up to you how many you want to make. I have no control over your life, the choice is yours. Step 3: Prepare rub - Mix together the following ingredients (per slab of rib): 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1 Tbs. chili powder 1 tsp. cumin 1...

Smoking a Brisket

I just got a new grill with a side fire box for Father's Day. So, I started a blog to share my adventures as someone who really has no idea what I am doing when it comes to smoking. But, I like fire; as most men do. And, I like a nice piece of hickory. And, I like food. And, I like to cook. Oh, and i like beer. Beer is what you drink when you are waiting on your meat to smoke. :-) So let's begin... Briskets, according to what I have read online, are one of the harder things to smoke. So why not start there!? I like a good challenge. So, let's get started. Step 1 - Buy a charcoal grill. Preferably, with side fire box. A gas grill won't cut it. Gas grills are great for cooking hot dogs and hamburgers, but you can't get the taste you get from a charcoal grill. I got a  Char-Griller Charcoal Grill  with a  Side Fire Box  from Lowe's. Not top of the line, but, so far, it works pretty well. If you buy the same grill, or probably any grill for that matter,...

Pulled Pork with Garlic and Pepper Rub

Tomorrow is the NFL playoffs. The Chiefs are taking on the Colts and we are having a few people over to watch my "Griefs" hopefully win. We shall see. As always, when there are people gathered at my house, there shall be food. So, I am prepping a 7 lbs. pork shoulder butt to put on the Traeger tomorrow morning and have ready for the game at 3:35 PM CST. I am putting together a garlic and pepper rub to put on the pork. I plan on using the pork to make some Polynesian Nachos. I am also going to use some of the pork for anyone who wants a sandwich or just wants some pulled pork. So, I am making a non-traditional rub to allow the meat to be a little more versatile. Let's get started. Take your pork shoulder butt and rinse and pat it dry with paper towels. I usually use a disposable aluminum pan to put the pork in where I can apply the rub, let set overnight in the fridge, and then I'll use it on the Traeger grill to cook in. Next, mix the following ingredien...
