Monty’s Gourmet Foods - 4 Excellent BBQ Sauces
There are hundreds of different brands of bbq sauce out there. Most are really good. Some of the larger commercial sauces are okay and of course every serious bbq’er has their own “home made” recipe. But there are very few bbq sauces that stand out as superior and when it comes to top of the line then it is definitely 4 from Monty’s Gourmet Foods.
Each of these sauces should be at the front of everyone’s bbq sauce collection. There is even one made especially for diabetics. Now how cool is that?
- Smokin’ Mesquite BBQ Sauce - Monty blends molasses, herbs and spices and I am sure some kind of magical ingredient because this sauce is in a word “perfect”. The smoke flavor is not overpowering, just enough to let you know that the smoke is there. If you like your bbq nice and sticky and sweet then try this one out.
- Smokin’ Roasted Garlic BBQ Sauce - If they had this in Transylvania, then the ole Count wouldn’t have been a problem. The garlic flavor is not overpowering but it does dance around the tongue. This is my 7 year old daughters favorite. She likes to pour it in a bowl and dip her finger in it. Now that is what I call and endorsement.
- Smokin’ Chipotle BBQ Sauce - Warmth is the key word here. Take a bite into your big fat juicy pork rib and your mouth warms up while the side of your tongue tingles. Did I mention sweet? This is some good stuff. It doesn’t burn but once you have finished eating you can still enjoy the heat and flavor for a while
- Smokin’ No Sugar Added BBQ Sauce - I am so happy to see this. A sauce that diabetics can indulge in that tastes good. I am diabetic and I have tried several sugar free or no sugar added sauces and they all have that strange after taste, you know the same kind that the “pink pack” leaves. Monty’s No Sugar Added BBQ Sauce doesn’t do that. It has a sweet taste to it and when you check your sugar levels 2 hours after you eat, you can bet that this sauce didn’t contribute to that 289. That came from all the potato salad you heaped on your plate.
All in all, Monty has a group of winners here. Whether you use the sauces while you are cooking or as a dip, you can best believe you are getting some of the best bbq sauce available.
Thanks for the tip on the sauces!
What did you try them on? Would you recommend them across the board (chicken, brisket, ribs, etc.) or would you pair one with a certain type of meat and another with a second type of meat?
