When it comes to barbeque sauce, people are vocal about what they like or don’t like. I use local and national barbeque sauces because that’s what I like, but I have friends who just love Sweet Baby Rays. If you have a favorite sauce, please leave a comment.

This recipe is meant to serve a crowd but leftovers can make a great picnic lunch or you can freeze a little batch for the following week. If it’s still too much, try this recipe converter on for size.

While not the best photo, it illustrates that I use a variety of reusable containers in my lunch Pyrex, Rubbermaid, SnackTAXI and Fresh Snack Packs.
