I've been on a quest to copy my favorite BBQ sauce...'Sweet Baby Ray's', which I showed you in the blog post for Sweet & Smokey BBQ Sauce... Well, I made that recipe again last night and I think I've come even closer to to my goal! I think this is as close as I'm going to get! Here is my revised recipe...

This was so good that I decided to use it as a condiment for some nachos! I made BBQ Nachos with cheddar cheese! This was a delicious snack! All I did was spread some tortilla chips on a microwave safe dish and sprinkle them with a generous amount of my homemade BBQ sauce. Then I sprinkled on a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. I microwaved it on high for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese! My family was very happy with this quick little snack creation!
