The Best BBQ Sauce From Scratch

It's a favorite and a staple in our house. It's the Best BBQ Sauce From Scratch! It's the reason we stopped using store bought bbq sauce!

Happy Summer, friends! Phew, what a summer it's been already! If your house is like ours then the only thing busier than our schedules is our grill and our smoker! Which means we've been making a ton of one of our favorites. One of our go-tos. One of the all-stars in our condiment round up: The Best BBQ Sauce From Scratch!

We're far from new to homemade BBQ sauces 'round here. Our Whiskey BBQ Sauce From Scratch makes a pretty killer Pulled Pork Sandwich. But that requires having some whiskey on hand, and at least 45 minutes. Whereas this, The Best BBQ Sauce From Scratch, you can probably have everything you need to make in right now in just 15! minutes!

We put this sauce on everything. Chicken. Ribs. Pork. On sandwiches. With fries. In a boat. With a goat. In the rain. In the dark. On a train...(Can you tell I have a toddler?) Seriously. It goes on EVERYTHING. Do I need to get my toddler to eat something? I just put some BBQ sauce on it. ;P

And I don't blame her. Not only is it deliciously easy it's also free of all the processed extras you'll find a bottle so I'm 100% ok with how much of it she wants to eat. Plus, you can totally customize it! Want it a little tangier? Add a little more vinegar. Want a little more heat? Toss in some more chili powder. Want it sweeter? Up that brown sugar and/or molasses! Each batch you make can be a little different for whatever you're in the mood for! Honestly, that's one of my favorite things about homemade sauces!

Even better, you'll be sure to impress your BBQ guests when they ask you what brand BBQ sauce you used and you casually respond, "Oh, this? It's just a few things I threw together..." 🙂

Serve it with some of our favorite sides!

• Avocado Pasta Salad
• Asian Cucumber Salad
• Pineapple Melon Mint Salad
• Asian Sesame Ginger Slaw
• German Dill Potato Salad

Or serve it with another grilled favorite!

• Spicy Beef Kebabs
• 10 Minute Spicy Grilled Shrimp Skewers

So heat up that grill, gather friends and family, open a cool beverage, and enjoy that sunshine and summertime feels, friends!
