bbq sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can be healthier without added sugars, while ketchup is budget-friendly.

Start with a big piece of pork (either fresh picnic or boston butt) and some chicken.

Cook the pork and chicken in a crock pot for 14 hours until it falls apart.

Pick through the meat to remove bones, gristle, and fat, then transfer it to a large stock pot.

Strain the broth from the crock pot into the stock pot to ensure no small pieces remain.

In a separate pan, melt butter and add ketchup, vinegar, and dry spices to make the sauce.

Add about 1/4 cup of rum boggies mustard-based sauce and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper-based hot sauce to the sauce mixture.

Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes to combine flavors, then add half of it to the pot with the meat.

Add about 1/2 bag of frozen green lima beans and 1 can of corn to the pot, then stir to combine.

Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, add the remaining barbecue sauce to the pot, adjusting to taste.

Add a large can of stewed tomatoes to the pot and let it simmer for an additional 45 minutes.
