Mike loved this. I read numerous recipes online, then did it my way. I hate ketchup & wanted to avoid using it, I think the balsamic adds the vinegar that you miss from the ketchup with a little extra sweetness & flair. I have an extensive spice rack & pantry, so substitute if needed.

[email protected]This recipe is a great base, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add a bit of chopped onion and green pepper, and sometimes I'll even add a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
