I am going to be making BBQ Beef Ribs for the first time on Father's Day and was wondering what everyone's favorite BBQ sauce is? What do you recommend I use?
 
Sweet Baby Rays! YUM!
 
I actually like to make my own using the Smoky BBQ rub. 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 2 tbsp rub. Then cook for a few minutes. It's just the recipe for the sauce for the pork tenderloin, but I think it's delicious.

This is our favorite too! The classic one - not any of the fancy versions.


I also really like the recipe that Keith posted. I make that quite often. It's very simple to make, and tastes great!
 
For goodness sakes, ours is the best! The PC rub and recipe is awesome.

I joke that you can't make any money recommending Sweet Baby's Rays or other people's recipes. But it's true. You represent PC and if you aren't recommending and supporting your products how can you expect others to support them. Just my 2 cents.

It's BBQ Sauce. I use the BBQ Rub for lots of things. But we still like Sweet Baby Ray's too.

I also (GASP!) use pre-shredded cheese.:D

I am not doing this for a cooking show; just for family. Sweet Baby Ray's sounds like a popular one. Is there one flavor (i.e. Original) or are there other flavors?
 
Love the regular Sweet Baby Ray's here too.

There are several flavors, and we've tried most of them, but we always go back to the Original - it's definitely our favorite.
 
Definately the regular!
 
We love Sweet Baby Ray's too! But I think we use the Hickory Smoke flavor (or something like that). We have never tried the original - we are going to have to give it a try!
 
Original!!:thumbup::thumbup:
 
lol.....me too for Sweet Baby Ray's!!
 
My favorite is Kraft Original Recipe.

All the more reason to try ours. I love the the Smoky BBQ rub to make BBQ Sauce. I think it tastes better than anything out there. Just use the recipe Keith sent. It is really fantastic. I make my own baby backs all the time. I rub on the dry rub before I grill them. I grill them really low on indirect heat, then I have the sauce made up to put on after they are done. It rocks!!

You make a compelling argument. I may have to bite the bullet and just make Keith's recipe.

Do it!!!

The recipe is easy and quick and it is light years ahead of the bottled stuff. Plus you know exactly what's in it.
