Root Beer Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

September 11, 2014 by Jodie Leave a Comment

Rootbeer Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

We use barbecue sauce for a lot of things at our house. Burgers, chicken nuggets, sandwiches, as a dip for fries…I’m sure there are more that I can’t think of right now.

This summer we’ve done a lot of barbecuing and my husband kept asking me to try and make our own delicious barbecue sauce. We also really like pulled pork and I had seen a recipe that involved just pouring root beer over it in the crockpot. Sounded awesome, but I really wanted even more root beer flavor.  So, I combined the two ideas.

I have been working on this recipe for a couple months, tweaking here and there to get it right. The first one I made was much too hot. While this version is hot as well, trust me when I say it isn’t too hot unless you’re going to be eating it with a spoon. Put it on any sandwich or burger and it just gives it the perfect kick as well as the other flavors.

So, there you have it. Homemade barbecue sauce. It really isn’t hard and doesn’t take too much time. I did put it in the blender after it cooled down so that I didn’t have chunks of chipotle surprises anywhere, but feel free to skip that step if the chunks don’t bother you.
