Atlanta BBQ Sauce Recipe - Recipes From The Best BBQ Caterers In Atlanta

Atlanta GA offers some of the best BBQ and has some of the best BBQ restaurants in the country. Atlanta BBQ sauces differ from some of its neighboring states. Most BBQ sauces have a few things in common. The main ingredients are tomatoes or ketchup, spices, something sweet like sugar or molasses and sometimes vinegar. Most of the BBQ sauces that I have tried in the Atlanta area has a strong tomato base. I think most of the BBQ restaurants use either tomato ketchup or sauce.

One of my favorite Atlanta BBQ sauce recipes is as follows:

Two table spoons of butter

One half of an onion chopped fine

One and one half cups of tomato sauce

One cup of cider vinegar

One teaspoon of liquid smoke (You can find this in most grocery stores)

One quarter cup of brown sugar

One teaspoon of salt

One teaspoon of fine black pepper

Cayenne pepper to taste (Maybe about 1 teaspoon)

One table spoon of yellow mustard

You will need to melt the butter in a sauce pan and then brown the onions until soft. Add the other ingredients and simmer for twenty minutes.

If you want a hotter sauce then just add more cayenne pepper but be careful. Keep in mind that the sauce will seem spicy when it is warm. Once the sauce cools it will not taste as spicy. The liquid smoke adds a unique twist but be careful because using too much will ruin the batch of sauce.

I love BBQ and this sauce is one of my favorites. Give it a try at your next barbeque.
