MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS RECIPE
Several years ago, I had an unpleasant allergic reaction to both tomatoes and ketchup.
Had to stop eating both.
Since I still wanted a sauce for my burgers and fries, I decided to create my own.
Long story short, I went into the kitchen and did a lot of experimenting to create a fantastic sauce for my burgers, chicken wings, fries and onion rings.
Soon, Smoky Sauce was perfected.
A KEY INGREDIENT
Liquid Smoke, loaded with delicious smoky flavor, is a key ingredient in Smoky Sauce.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
This sauce is a great substitute for ketchup.
Drizzle some over crisp fries and enjoy each bite!
Drizzle some Smoky Sauce drizzled on bacon, burgers, fried chicken, onion rings, ribs, and ham sandwiches. Enjoy the flavor boost!
I drizzle a LOT on my homemade Smoky Burgers.
HELPFUL TIPS
If sauce is cooked too long, it will form a paste in the fridge.
It’s still good!
To make it thin enough to drizzle, warm in microwave for 5 seconds.
Pour cooled Smoky Sauce into a tightly sealed container before placing in fridge for up to 14 days.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Make some Smoky Bacon Jam. Place crumbled crisp bacon (pork or turkey) on toasted wheat or white bread. Drizzle Smoky Sauce over the top. Enjoy as a snack or light meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Drizzle hot Smoky Sauce over your baked or fried chicken nuggets.
Serve on pita bread or toasted wheat bread.
Enjoy!
