This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Coca Cola is a fantastic secret ingredient. Sweet, flavorful, and an absolutely perfect base for BBQ sauce. Just be prepared to be "grilled" about the secret.
1 can (12 ounce size) cola, Coke or Pepsi
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
hot pepper sauce (Tabasco) to taste
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the sauce to a simmer and let cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the sauce thickens.
Let cool and use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to a week.
Medium Saucepan: For simmering the barbecue sauce ingredients together.
Stirring Spoon: For stirring the ingredients in the saucepan during the cooking process.
Measuring Cups and Spoons: For measuring ingredients such as ketchup, cider vinegar, chili powder, and salt.
Cutting Board and Knife: For chopping the onion before adding it to the saucepan with the other ingredients.
Storage Container: If not using the barbecue sauce immediately, a covered container is needed for storing the sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I have made this recipe for the last three years for our association BBQ with a few variations and I have had so many people ask where they could buy my sauce. What a wonderful base recipe. I couldn't have done it without you. This year we have had two bbqs, the first time I tripled the recipe and this that still wasn't enough, so this time I have quadrupled the recipe, sure hope that this will last the length of the bbq. Again, thanks for such a wonderful recipe. GN
