I saw this recipe last year and although had to cut it back for 2 it was pretty good. Going to try it again, but this time in stead of ham, I am going to cut up a smoked pork hock I have, so shouldn't need the liquid smoke, but might use it as well. As I like spicy stuff, will probably add some jalapeno peppers as well.

Made per recipe and average fare. Second time I added 1/2 cup brown sugar and used red pepper; added cheese for last 10 minutes of baking time - much better. I used off-the-shelf Kraft Original BBQ sauce.

What can be used to replace soy sauce. I have a daughter that is very allergic to any and all soy products. Thank You bubblinover

This recipe contains liquid smoke not soy. So it should be safe for your daughter as there is no soy found in liquid smoke. Hope this helps. :)
