Chef James' Bourbon Meat Sauce

 

Delicious. This would be one of the sauces I re-order. Spicy, not super spicy, and a good sweetness to it. It does leave some heat lingering on you tongue the more you eat. Well balanced.. no one flavor in the sauce overpowers the other. Just the right amount of ketchupy goodness, the cayenne isn't too vinegary, everything just works together well. Some sauces only taste good when warmed up, this one tastes good cold also. I know from experience. I was lazy once and just poured some in a container to try on potato chips.

Ingredients: water, ground beef, ketchup (tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, cane sugar, salt, onion powder, spice, natural flavoring), cayenne pepper sauce (aged cayenne red peppers, vinegar, salt, garlic), molasses, mustard (distilled vinegar, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, spices), sodium acid sulfate, cayenne pepper, chili powder, beef base (oven roasted beef with natural juices, salt, hydrolyzed soy protein, onion powder, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate), sugar, paprika, cumin, granulated garlic, granulated onion, black pepper, bourbon.
