Mutha Sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup green pepper, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 can tomato sauce (28 ounces)
2 cups ketchup
1 cup water
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 molasses
1/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons black pepper, coarsely ground
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon Liquid Smoke (optional)
Pour the oil into a large saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Add the onions, green peppers and jalapenos and stir. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add everything else except the Liquid Smoke. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers. Simmer for 10 minutes. Swirl in the Liquid Smoke, and let the sauce cool. Pour into a container, cover and store in the fridge until ready to use. Makes 6 to 7 cups.
I also use an immersion blender to make sure it's nice and smooth. Lots of ingredients but not tough to make, and it's worth it. I usually double the recipe and make a ton of it and sometimes make it a bit spicier.
I've also used their rub recipe for ribs, and they come out awesome:
1/2 cup paprika
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated garlic
6 tablespoons onion, granulated
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
