Ketchup adds a special zest to most recipes. The special recipe is made special using ketchup. The recipe is called Barbecued Catfish. The sauce is formed by mixing all the ingredients in a cup of ketchup. The cat-fish is marinated within the mixture and let to stand in the fridge for 15 minutes. You cook for about 12 minutes, continuously basting the filets with the sauce. When done, you have a wonderful meal.

Crockpot Sloppy Joes is another of my favorite ketchup recipes. You combine one cup of ketchup with the rest of the ingredients and cook in the crock-pot for about 6 hours. When ready, serve on a toasted hamburger bun for a wonderful meal.

What of barbecued spareribs. This recipe uses cup of ketchup to create a sauce that you use to glaze your favorite spareribs for that perfect taste. You mix all the ingredients together. You then pour over the ribs and bake for about 1 to 2 hours. If you want them extra flavorful, you can marinate the ribs for 3 to 4 hours before baking them for that special taste.

An interesting recipe includes mixing a cup of ketchup with a cup of root beer, lemon juice and also some Worchester sauce and brown sugar. You bring this to a boil, stirring occasionally. You then simmer until you have about 1 volume You can also season to taste. This makes a wonderful barbecue sauce. You store in your refrigerator until needed.

Barbecued Tex-Mex Wings are also one of the recipes. You add cup of ketchup to the other ingredients to produce a basting sauce. Your wings are placed on the grill while you are basting them. Basting them more will cause them to burn because of the sugar content. In about 10 minutes, you have some delicious wings made very special by ketchup.
