I cooked us up Arthur's recipe for Sausage Kabobs that uses his MLG BBQ Rub and MLG Barbecue Sauce. I added some par boiled potatoes to make this meal filling. Have you ever grilled potatoes? YUM! The rub was delicious and the bbq sauce as well, Mr. kept commenting how good it smelled as it was cooking. I think I'll be making more of this sauce again!

MLG Barbecue Sauce

Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 cup bourbon (use a gluten free one)
1/2 tsp Hungarian paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions
1. In a saucepan on medium heat, combine the orange juice and candy. Put the lid on and cook until the candy is melted down.

2. Add remaining ingredients into the saucepan, then mix well and reduce the heat to a simmer for 15 minutes. Sauce is done when it thickens.

3. Let the sauce cool and store it in a glass jar, refrigerated, until ready to use.

There's delicious flavors in this MLG BBQ Rub!

This MLG Barbecue Sauce makes plenty to keep in the fridge for another day. I made grilled chicken thighs with some leftovers. Delish! Mr. kept raving about it. Must've been the bourbon in it.
