When I saw the spread on the kitchen island, I asked HHjr

“What are you making?”

“It’s a championship winning recipe adapted from Big Bob Gibson,” he replied

Big Bob Gibson is an Alabama legend who is famous for his White BBQ Sauce and BBQ joints

“Yikes, that’s a lot of ingredients!” I said

“Yeah, but it’s not hard to make at all…you just dump everything in a pan and simmer for 15 minutes” he explained

There are so many great bottled BBQ sauces available, and just as many prized family and secret recipes, but you really ought to give this one a try sometime, all of us are raving about it

HHjr buys these handy squeeze bottles at Walmart for under $1, great for putting the perfect drizzle on your BBQ pulled pork sandwich, chicken, ribs, or anything!
