Author Notes
My late husband and I always disagreed about bbq sauce - I liked it spicy, he liked it sweet. We went to Austin, TX and we both fell in love with Rudy's BBQ Sause - and then kicked ourselves for not buying more to bring home! This is my copycat BBQ sauce recipe - great on ribs, chicken and I've even drizzled it over scrambled eggs! —Biz Velatini

-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
1 teaspoon
fresh cracked pepper
- For the BBQ Sauce
-
8 ounces
canned tomato sauce
-
1/2 cup
ketchup
-
1/2 cup
brown sugar
-
2.5 tablespoons
white vinegar

2 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
-
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon
fresh cracked pepper
-
1/4 teaspoon

1/8 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
Directions
-
For the ribs: mix the dry mustard, smoked paprika, salt and pepper together and rub on the ribs. Put ribs in foil and tightly cover the ribs and bake on a cookie sheet at 250 degrees for three hours. This can be done over the weekend too for a quick weeknight meal.
-
For the BBQ sauce: mix everything together in a pan and cook over medium low heat for 30 minutes. This can also be made ahead and keeps in the refrigerator for weeks.
-
When you are ready to grill, light coals or heat up your gas grill. Brush both sides with the BBQ sauce and cook over medium heat until heated through, then I turn up the heat on high to get some char marks for an extra smokey flavor. These are fall off the bone ribs!
