PERFECT ROOT BEER BBQ SAUCE



Perfect Root Beer BBQ Sauce image

BBQ Sauce from USA Sunday paper by Guy Fieri. Used on Country Style ribs that I used his "Guy's Righteous Ribs" recipe. I actually cooked the ribs after putting the rub on them in the crock pot and drained the liquid off and applied the BBQ sauce and let cook on low an additional 30 min. So good. Prep and cooking time does not include cool down of root beer.
