Ingredients
Instructions
- Generously sprinkle pork with garlic salt.
- Bake at 350°F for one hour.
- Use pan drippings to make gravy; pour gravy into a large saucepan.
- Add all other ingredients, blending well.
- Slice the pork and add to the sauce.
- Simmer, uncovered, stirring often, for about 1 hour.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the pork loin overnight with garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. If you're out of hickory barbecue sauce, a mix of regular barbecue sauce with a splash of liquid smoke can work well. Consider using a mix of onions, such as sweet and red, for more depth. Also, feel free to adjust the cayenne pepper to your heat preference, or omit it for a milder dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Dynamite Barbecue on toasted onion rolls for a delicious sandwich. It pairs beautifully with a side of Cold Vegetable Medley Salad for a refreshing contrast. Consider offering Cheesy Potatoes(For The Barbecue) as a hearty side dish, and don’t forget to provide extra napkins for this messy, flavorful meal!
