Summertime means it’s time for all things BBQ. My Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce is simple, delicious, and a family favorite all summer long.
My family grills out about 5 times a week in the summer and 2 times a week in the winter…we just love it. So that means I’m always coming up with marinades and sauces to change up our meals. I just love the Mustard Maple Glaze I created a few weeks ago, but this Easy BBQ Sauce is so simple and has been a staple on our table for years.
I love using a shortcut to make my sauce on busy nights by using French’s Tomato Ketchup. I can really feel good about using their products because they bring the great flavor of U.S. farm-grown tomatoes free from high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, artificial flavors & colors, and gluten!
I hosted a big family supper about a month ago with all things BBQ. I served ribs, brisket, sausages, and pork shoulder {it was a big get together} and I made up 3 different sauces for everyone to try, including this one. The jar of this Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce was practically licked clean. While all the sauces were delicious hits…this one was the clear winner and everyone’s favorite.
Making homemade sauces don’t have to take all day and using a simple shortcut with a quality product really helps to speed things up in the kitchen.
