MOGridder's Dry Rub Barbecue Seasoning:

2 1/2 tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon raw or granulated brown sugar

  1. Mix together the paprika, salt, granulated sugar, chili powder, onion powder, ground pepper, raw sugar, oregano and thyme in a small bowl. Store in a glass jar with an airtight seal.

MOGridder's Barbecue Sauce:

In a bowl, combine the ketchup, molasses, mustard and cayenne. Incorporate into the paste. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer until thick, about 20 minutes.
