Barbeque Sauce – Tomato and Thick
This is my go to homemade BBQ marinade and sauce for pork and chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 med to large onion coarse chop (at least 2 cups)
- ½ cup oil (I like olive)
- 16 oz tomato sauce note the can sizes due to quantity changes
- 8 oz tomato paste note the can sizes due to quantity changes
- 16 oz can of diced tomatoes optional, may not use full can
- 1 c water
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce to Your taste add or subtract
- 4 tbls. prepared mustard
- ½ t. or more ground pepper
- 1 tbls. salt
- 2 tbls Accent msg is optional
- several dashes of hickory smoke flavoring optional. Adds another flavor.
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, cook onions in oil until tender. This should be about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients,
- If the can of tomato sauce was less than 16 oz you can add some more tomato sauce or add some of the diced tomatoes.
- Slow Simmer 1 hour, add water as needed to maintain desired thickness.
Notes
This is meant to be a thick sauce.
Of course you should modify it to your tastes.
This is primarily for pork and chicken.
I like to prepare the sauce early, then dip the meat pieces in it, before during and after cooking.
