Barbecue Sauce I

Barbecue Sauce I
QuickQuokka · Own work · CC0 · View on Wikimedia Commons

This is a simple barbecue sauce that works well for everyday meals, even with leftover meat and picky eaters. It is best served with soda and rice, and perhaps also steamed vegetables. The ideal meat to use would be thin slices of eye-of-round beef roast. The sauce also goes well with chicken, turkey, and pork.
