My Original Patented Hot & Spicy LC BBQ Sauce – from Chuck Dudek

To one batch of the above, add:

10 more Equal tablets (mixed in a little water)
2 tablespoons Tabasco (this ain't for wimps)
2 tablespoons Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
One large clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
(Optional) 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper (adds flavour and makes hotter)

Warm over low heat until butter is melted and ingredients are blended. This sauce is intended to be served at the table, southern style, not used to baste the meat. I suppose you could baste the meat with it, but since there's not much sugar in it, you won't get the burnt sugar flavour that people like. Plus, you won't be able to count how many carbohydrates you are consuming because you won't know how much ends up on the coals. 62 grams in the whole batch. 0.9 grams per tablespoon and well worth it.
