Notes

• didn’t have tomato sauce, used ketchup fore meat and leftover bbq sauce from ribs, turned out ok
• didn’t put salt & pepper if used ketchup
• when using the leftover bbq sauce, it needed about 1/4 cup brown sugar
• it seems like too much onion, but it’s just right.
• Serve with mashed potatoes & greens or mac & cheese.
• Fish sauce is substitute for Worcestershire (allergies)
• try 15 minute glaze step
