Getting kinda tired of store bought. Seems to be thicker and sweeter than i prefer.

Anyone got anything or thoughts. Go

Not too sweet, not too much vinegar. Kinda spicy but not hot. Just start starting.

Not homemade but this is thinner and not too sweet

It’s fun to make. Tough to make in small batches but it’s cheap enough to make that if ya don’t like the results, making more isn’t bad. We got into making it after the wife got into making salsa a little while back

I bought about just taking some store bought. And just tweaking it. Maybe add some water, cider vinegar, black pepper etc.

Sonny Bryans BBQ sauce is really very good

I really like this recipe. I used to make it exactly by this recipe, but I just eyeball everything now. Play with the ingredients and make it to your liking.
2 cups Catsup
½ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
4 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Molasses
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Mustard
½ tsp Red pepper flakes
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Onion powder
½ tsp Coarse Black Pepper

Head Country makes really good BBQ sauce that you never have to make. The Apple Habanero is awesome on everything.

Easier for me to pickup some Salt Lick sauce at the store. It’s a honey mustard style. The Lauren’s version used to be really hot, but it’s tamer now.

Make my own, being on a very low sodium diet homemade is the only choice that I know of.

Start with
Tomato Sauce, mustard, garlic, onion, black pepper, jalapenos, liquid smoke, vinegar, molasses, bourbon (if I have some), Shiner for thinning down when needed.

Depending on mood and what it is going on as to what else goes in.

Never measure just adjust for taste, works for us.

I kind of prefer the thinner BBQ sauce.
If anyone's ever ate McKenzies bbq.. that's what I like.

Thats what I have been getting. Its a change from the catsup based.

I take any sauce and cut it in half with chunky Pace Picante medium. People always ask about it and I tell them it is my special recipe.

All of those indredients are sweet...might be too sweet for me.


That sounds really good.

Instead of Pace we use the HEB mild salsa brand. Adds a little heat to any BBQ sauce that is always too sweet.

Take a major player and doctor it.
We used to use Bulls Eye because my neighbor worked for Kraft and he would give us gallon jugs of it.

Add jalapeno vinegar juice and other ingredients until you get what you like.

Works every time.

407 should bottle that stuff and sell it.

I thought Jambo had the best sauce I had used. Use to buy a quart every time I did a pork butt. Then I found out they use Head Country Original. Then I think I renumber Bryan at 407 saying that is what they use also. Still the best I have found!

Yea, that is what he uses or used to.

I got some a few years ago, pretty good stuff.

Here is my recipe. (I like to add a jalapeno or two sometimes. )

Yes making your own is great, it’s easy. You just take ketchup and add stuff to it. Kinda hard to mess up.

My wife likes sweet baby rays. I hate it. It’s sweet and thick.

I like the flavor of SBR, but it's too thick for me

Life must be boring if you want to spend free time making bbq sauce

My BBQ sauce is the best I've ever tasted. Recipe that I used when I was on the food network.



I'll do 6 batches at once and then can them. Lasts us about a year.
