  1. JFM REVIEW:

    Had a surplus of catalina dressing and needed an easy bbq sauce recipe. Turned out great. Only change, I would use less oil next time.

  2. Bob REVIEW:

    My dad, in Marion, Ohio, who loved to BBQ in the '60s and '70s, made an outrageous home made BBQ sauce with Catalina Salad Dressing as a base. He got the recipe from somebody at work and we grew up on that BBQ sauce. It was great and this recipe appears to be everything that I remember about him make his, except he did not have chopped onions. It was a couple of shakes of onion powder, one shake of garlic powder, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, because they dissolve in the sauce instead of making it chunky as what chopped onions would do.
