Don't ask me how this happened, but I currently have 5 brand new oversized bottles of ketchup in my fridge! There's only DH & I, and we only use ketchup for things like french fries which is maybe twice a year.

Not wanting to toss them out, I'm hoping you can give me some recipes so I can get some room back in my fridge!!

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour into a baking dish. Bake the beans uncovered about 1 1/2 hours or until they have thickened & cooked down with a skin just beginning to form on the top of the beans. (These reheat well & will keep several days.)

SLOPPY JOES

1 lb. lean ground beef
2 medium or 1 large onion, finely minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. cider vinegar
1 Tbs. prepared mustard
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce

Brown ground beef and onion together, breaking up beef into smaller pieces. Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients together. When beef is no longer pink, drain off any excess fat. Add ketchup mixture and stir. Cook, uncovered, over low heat until sauce is reduced and onion is soft.

Notes: 1 Tbs. sweet pickle relish can be added at the end or some finely minced red or green pepper added along with the onion. Salt & pepper is usually not needed.

Here is a recipe that was posted some time ago and is very good. It is a bit elaborate, you could modify it to your liking. I'm sure there are lots of versions on the WEB.

Dianasours Mutha Sauce

¼ Cup vegetable oil
1 Cup minced onion
½ Cup minced green pepper
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
Pinch each of salt and black pepper
2 Tbl minced garlic
1 Can (28 ounces) tomato sauce
2 Cup ketchup (preferably Heinz)
1 Cup water
¾ Cup Worcestershire sauce
½ Cup cider vinegar
¼ Cup lemon juice
¼ Cup molasses
¼ Cup cayenne pepper sauce
¼ Cup spicy brown mustard
¾ Cup dark brown sugar packed
1 Tbl chili powder
2 Tsp coarsely ground black pepper
¼ Tsp ground allspice
1 Tbl Liquid Smoke (optional)

Pour the oil into a large saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions, green peppers and jalapeno and give them a stir. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Dump in 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 it into a container, cover and store in the fridge until ready to use. (makes 6 to 7 cups)

Here is another one that is a knock off from a very popular rib joint in Windsor Ontario...I love this sauce. It freezes well too.

TBQ Sauce (Ann) Tunnel BBQ

1/2 Cup Ketcup
1/4 Cup prepared mustard
1/2 Cup vinegar white
1 1/2 Tsp salt
1 1/2 Tsp garlic powder
1 Tsp black pepper
1 Tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 Tsp chile powder
1/8 Cup white sugar.
Place all ingredients in a blender and mix. Store unrefrigerated. Seems to last forever.

Note Chile powder, sugar and mustard all reduced by half from original recipe.

DEBBIE 814'S HARLEY HOG SANDWICHES
This is the best sandwich I have ever had. My guests go crazy for it. I usually cook the pork butt in the oven, and it comes out just as good. Enjoy!! Debbie

Todd's Tidbits

You can also smoke your pork in a charcoal barbecue, such as a round Weber Grill. Just arrange the charcoal around the edge of the inside of the grill. When the coals are hot, place the soaked wood chips on them, and then place the pork on the center of the rack above the coals. Cover. Cook the meat for 2-4 hours or until the internal temperature comes to 150°-165°.

Equal amounts of ketchup and cola
Try it, you might like it!

I've used it on ribs, chicken, pork chops, and baked bbq chicken!

Use direct/medium heat on grill
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp chile sauce
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 russet potatoes, about 8 oz each
1 T olive oil
1 T minced garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

In a small bowl mix together the ketchup, chile sauce and balsamic vinegar. Set aside

Scrub the potatoes under cold running water and dry thoroughly but do not peel. cut lengthwise into 1/2" thick slices, then cut the slices into 1/4" thick wedges. Place the wedges in a medium bowl. Toss with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

Place the wedges on the grill, being careful not to let them drop through the openings. Cook directly over medium heat until golden brown, turning once, about 10 minutes. For extra crispy fries, open the grill and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, turning once.

Serve warm with the ketchup. Makes 4 servings.

My note: I tried this with one large baking potato. Sliced maybe 1/4-1/8" thick slices. Rolled them in light olive oil,garlic powder and salt & pepper. Grilled until browned. My ketchup mixture was about 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup chile sauce and I drizzled a bit of balsamic vinegar. Very good!

You can use all ketchup in this brisket recipe. It's a big favorite at our house!
BRISKET
1 4-pound beef brisket
Kosher salt
Pepper
2 onions, thinly sliced into half moons
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup prepared chile sauce (Heinz Chile Sauce)
3 tablespoons brown sugar (I use more)
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 12-ounce bottle beer

Salt and pepper both sides of the meat. Place beef in a roasting pan. Cover with onion. Combine ketchup, chile sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and beer. Pour mixture over meat. Cover securely with foil. Bake at 300 degrees F for about 4 hours or until the brisket is fork tender. You can puree the gravy if you like it thicker.

NOTES : Use more onions if you want to. I like lots of onions in the gravy. I don't puree the gravy. Freezes well. It tastes even better the next day!

Sara Moultons never fail brisket last night. It's really worth a try.
