Well things are heating up around here as Ben and I both filled out our Final Four brackets- and without cheating, we both chose the same overall winner! As I’m writing this post, we’re watching a game and munching on some delicious game day food.
The other day while grocery shopping, I picked up some of the Coca Cola NCAA® Final Four Packs available at Walmart and got my creative juices flowing on what I could make with them. Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke and Coke Zero are all available in these four packs and naturally I had to pick up one of each! Each of our family members has a different one as a favorite.
Since grilling is so much fun for Ben, I decided on a BBQ sauce for our chicken we would be eating today. Not just any BBQ sauce though, Sweet and Spicy Vanilla Coke BBQ Sauce. And oh, man is it good. Seriously one of our new favorites around here.
Um, and yes, this happened. Canaan apparently loves it. 🙂
I really love a good BBQ sauce anyway (what good Texan doesn’t?) but the Vanilla Coke takes this one over-the-top delicious.
And having a meal where hubby does most of the work? That’s a win for sure!
- 1 cup Vanilla coke
- ½ onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Sriacha sauce (or adjusted to your preference)
- 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp. white vinegar
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tbs. tomato paste
- 1.5 cups ketchup
- Place all ingredients except ketchup in a food processor. Blend until almost smooth, but with a little texture remaining.
- In a medium saucepan, begin warming up ketchup.
- Add in remaining ingredients.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Use to baste chicken, ribs, or vegetables for grilling.
