Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce

I have another blog that's pretty much devoted to my son.  And I'm sorry to say I have neglected it for sooooo long.  I really should get back to it.  A lot of things have happened in the 3, yes 3 years since I really posted anything.  Horrible mommy!  And I admit that I've become a Pinterest fanatic, mostly recipes.  Occasionally I find one I can't pin, darn them!  So, I'm going to blog those recipes to hopefully help others out.  I will try to post a link or at least give the site from where I got the recipe.

I'll start with this one...

I've never had LaRosa's Montgomery Inn BBQ pizza. So last week I used up the rest of my Montgomery Inn sauce, last packet of Fleischmann's pizza yeast, some chicken strips from the freezer and mozzarella cheese and made my own.  It was pretty good.  It definitely needed more sauce.  I did a layer of sauce and the chicken that was cooked on a grill pan, could have used more chicken too!  Maybe next time I'll use cooked shredded chicken and toss it in the BBQ sauce.  Oh, and the pizza dough, I'm going back to making it in the bread machine or trying it with the Kitchen Aide mixer.  The Fleischmann recipe on their pizza yeast is OK if you're in hurry, but I'd rather have a nice "fluffy" crust.  This is just too thin.

Anyhoo, I found a recipe, two actually, for homemade MI BBQ sauce.  One I was able to pin, the other not.  Can't even copy and paste it.  So, I'm going to type it here...

Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce

24 oz bottle of ketchup
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. chili powder
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 - 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2  cup tarragon vinegar

Blend all ingredients in a pot.  Cook slowly until all flavors are blended.


Here's the original recipe.

Maybe I'll make it next week and see how close it comes to the real thing.


Update... I made the sauce today.  Not exactly Montgomery Inn, kinda close.  It's not bad, but I think it has too much vinegar.   The kid didn't complain.  I think next time I'll substitute half of the ketchup with tomato sauce.  That should take care of some twang.

Here's what my Montgomery Inn pizza looked like (sorry, just put up with the pictures from my little Nikon camera):
