Eastern North Carolina-Style BBQ Sauce

[Jeff Boudman]

I guess I need to give Texas Pete another try. I personally like the stuff from Lousiana (Tabasco brand).

I like Tabasco for heat in Bloody Marys and Texas Pete as a pepper sauce.

What's with the recipes that are using tiny amounts?
Who wants to mix up barbecue sauce every day?

I mix it up by a qt at minimum.
And now I understand why dad used to mix it up by a gallon...... It goes really fast

Hi Martin, I don't know why others use "tiny amounts", but we do because we like our food to taste different every day. Why have your meatloaf with sauce taste just like the ribs you had yesterday. There are so many different flavors to put on our food. You know the old saying "VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE".
