Teresa L. Keese, executive vice-president of the Brady/McCulloch County
Chamber of Commerce sent us this recipe after the most recent goat cook-off in
Brady.  “The winners from the 1996 contest were not willing to divulge their
recipe secrets to us,” she writes, “but we were able to go back and get this
previous winners recipe.”  We are honored to have Barney McBee’s recipe for
goat sauce, and hope that you enjoy it too.

Barney McBee’s Texas Goat Sauce
Makes about 7 cups

1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, mashed
1 32-ounce bottle ketchup
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 cups black coffee
1 cup distilled vinegar
1 lemon, cut in half
6 tablespoons chili powder
3 good taps Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil over medium-low in a large saucepan.  Add onions and garlic and
sauté until tender but not brown. Whisk together ketchup and mustard in a large
bowl and add to ingredients in saucepan.  Add remaining ingredients.  Simmer
over low heat for 1 hour. Refrigerate unused sauce up to several weeks.

While this sauce is meant for goat, it has an earthy flavor (probably from the
coffee) that goes nicely with beef or mutton.
