Surprisingly Quick and Simple BBQ Recipes - Sparkle Markets Recipe Archive

The arrival of warm weather in Ohio and Pennsylvania means barbecue season is here! Whether you like it slathered on ribs, squirted atop a juicy burger or stirred into a bowl of pasta salad, the sweet and tangy sauce is absolutely delicious. Take a look at some of our simplest BBQ recipes made over the years.

BBQ Bourbon Pork Chops

This recipe for BBQ Bourbon Pork Chops is made extra special with a homemade barbecue sauce, complete with bourbon, molasses, ketchup and cayenne.

BBQ Ribs with Whiskey Pineapple

While the ribs in this recipe for BBQ Ribs with Whiskey Pineapple are delicious, the real magic happens in the pineapple. Think: juicy pineapple chunks soaked in cinnamon whiskey, coated in sugar, then grilled. Yep, they’re as good as they sound. You can keep it kid friendly, but still yummy, by skipping the whiskey soak step.

BBQ Grilled Chicken and Corn

We get it, ribs can get expensive real quick, especially if you’re grilling for an entire family. So instead, grab chicken at your local Sparkle (check our ads for sale prices), then make BBQ Grilled Chicken and Corn.

BBQ Beef Sliders

There’s no grilling necessary for these BBQ Beef Sliders! Simply season your roast, then (gently) drop in the slow cooker for a few hours. Shred, top with a hefty helping of slaw (recipe included) and enjoy.

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Wraps

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Wraps make a really tasty summer lunch, filled with pineapple, roasted red peppers, onion, romaine, cilantro and cheese. Pro tip: swap the tortillas for butter lettuce to keep this dish low-carb.

Root Beer Pulled Pork with Slaw

Root Beer Pulled Pork with Slaw is one of our latest recipes made in the Great Groceries kitchen and it’s absolutely fantastic. Root beer and BBQ sauce give the pork plenty of flavor, while the classic slaw gives lots of needed crunch.

BBQ Ranch Pasta Salad

BBQ doesn’t always have to be the main course, right? Use two of our favorite condiments, BBQ sauce and Ranch, in this recipe for (you guessed it) BBQ Ranch Pasta Salad. This salad is perfect for summer cookouts and fall tailgates alike.

BBQ Quinoa Casserole

BBQ Quinoa Casserole works as a great, filling weeknight dinner and only takes three steps to make. Mix all ingredients together, top with cheese and bake. If you’re a proponent of no oven use in the summer, save this one until fall.

Now that you have a full arsenal of BBQ recipes to try, head to your local Sparkle Market for all the BBQ sauce and quality ingredients you need to make them this summer!
