Best BBQ Sauce You'll Ever Taste (Southwest)

FANTASTIC RECIPE!!!! Please do not skip on molasses just because there is also a sugar in the recipe. Those two ingredients have different sweetnes flavor and they need to be together. If you do not have red bell pepper like I did not have it you may add fire roasted pepper from the jar. Worked like a charm. I also did not have the chillie sauce so I added no salt tomatoe sauce and chipoltle chille in adobo sauce. I added a bit more garlicd cut it on cider vinegar and the result was incredible. Must try recipe. It does make a lot but in our household we cook a lot so the storage is not a problem. Thanks for such a great recipe!!

wow this is some great BBQ sauce, I have been wanted to try this for a while and I finally got to make it and used it with my recipe#158591 I reduced the amounts by half but used 2 heaping tablespoons fresh minced garlic and 1 habanero pepper plus 1 teaspoon crushed chili flakes, my family loves extreme heat, this paired up so well with my pulled pork, soooooo good! thanks for this great recipe Pokey, I will make again for sure!

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but the finished sauce came out with a somewhat chalky feel in the mouth. I did not have enough chili sauce, so I used ketchup to make up the difference. I had to use green peppers instead of red, and I used a couple generous tablespoons of chipotle pepper puree for the heat. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. The flavor was good, but next time I make this, I'll be sure to use the full amount of chili sauce and will only use 2 tablespoons liquid smoke during cooking, and the remaining tablespoon right when it comes off the heat as I expected a smokier flavor than I got. The only thing I can think of that I may have done wrong that gave me the off texture was maybe that I cooked it a few minutes too long or something. I used it to make barbecue beef from leftover pot roast, and it tasted very good. Even so, I think I can do better the next time I make this, especially since you personally recommended this recipe to me a few years back when I asked for a good bbq sauce recipe. When I make it again, I will submit another review.

Don't tell my husband, but he's a native Texan, and I think this sauce is better than his!<br/><br/>I cut the recipe in half, and I left out the habanero pepper, since I was cooking for children. The only chili sauce I had on hand was rooster sauce, though, so it still had a bit of a kick to it. I will definitely use this recipe again!

Fantastic recipe! I had to take some liberties with it, based on what I had on hand. I cut the recipe in half, but I still used a whole habanero. It was hot! But it was great. Also, I used thai sweet chii sauce in place of plain chii sauce, half pomegranate molasses and half regular, and ancho chile powder in place of regular. I added some honey for extra sweetness, too. Yum!! Thanks so much!
