Old Fashioned BBQ Sauce

 

In this post I’m sharing how to make an easy Old Fashioned BBQ Sauce with no cooking required.

An easy old fashioned barbecue sauce, ready in minutes. A perfect sauce for meats or a great condiment for serving. We sure do love our barbecue sauces here in the South. It’s the perfect sauce for pulled pork sandwiches, oven baked barbecue chicken or pork chops.

While there are many delicious brands of BBQ sauce that you can find in stores, it’s also really easy to create your own sauce with good old fashioned ingredients.

This would be what most of us would think of as a more traditional style barbecue sauce. I also have a recipe for Carolina Gold sauce on the blog that I absolutely love.

Old Fashioned BBQ Sauce Recipe

Here are the ingredients you’ll need (you can also find this in the printable recipe card further down in the post);

  • 1/2 c Molasses
  • 1 c Ketchup (Heinz recommended)
  • 1/4 c Yellow Mustard
  • 1/4 c White Vinegar
  • 2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Hot Sauce, such as Texas Pete 

Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl then transfer to a bottle or storage bowl. Refrigerate up to one month in an airtight container.

You’ll be rewarded with a delicious sweet and spicy barbecue sauce to use as a finishing sauce, glaze for cooking or dipping chicken tenders.

A glass bottle with a lid, like the one you get with salad dressing mix, works well for storing your sauce in the fridge. A mason jar or plastic bowl with a lid would also work well for storage.
