I have never been a big fan of the store bought BBQ sauces and so for the first time this summer we started creating our own homemade sauce . Why didn’t I do this before? It is so easy to make your own BBQ sauce and when your trying to prepare cheap meals for large families, yes even the sauce counts.
Some of the BBQ Sauce Recipes I had came with a list of ingredients I wouldn’t even know where to purchase let alone pronounce them. But to my delight from search online most of the recipes I found for making my own BBQ sauce were simple and my favorite’s called for ingredients I already had on hand.
Here is a list of the top 3 BBQ Sauce Recipes I used in 2009! I have tried all 3 recipes on different meats and through different cooking process this the summer and would recommend all of them. I included one with a lengthy list of ingredients because it was just so good, I am serious! And another that calls for oven baking. I don’t use my oven much during the summer but wanted to share this great recipe to be used year round.
Salsa BBQ Sauce
Salsa BBQ Sauce
Homemade BBQ Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of salsa (we used medium but any flavor will work)
- 1/4 cup of ketchup
- 2 tbsp of brown sugar
- 1 tbsp mustard
Directions: Mix together with a fork in a bowl. This is usually enough for about 4 chicken breasts.
- My Review: This is the first recipe I found and the easiest. I stock all 4 ingredients at all times (staples) and so this one was a no brainer for me. Of course with my big family we triple each of the ingredients. This one has to be our favorite because it is so simple and of course cheap! This is now the only BBQ grilling recipe my husband uses for making hamburgers on the grill. The salsa gives burgers a nice little kick!
The Perfect Barbecue Sauce
Ingredients:
- 50 oz. Heinze ketchup (honestly any brand will do)
BBQ Sauce
- 16 oz. tomato sauce
- 2 large lemons, sliced
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp. dry mustard
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 31/2 oz. liquid smoke
- 1 cup oil
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp pepper
- 1 quart 7-up
Directions: combine all ingredients into a pot, mix well and gently boil for 11/2 to 2 hours.
- My Review: The flavor of this BBQ Sauce Recipe was amazing. If time is on your side then I would recommend this one to anyone. But time and money is a factor for me. I had to specifically purchase many of the list ingredients and although I loved the flavor of this sauce on grilled chicken, I didn’t get to use this one much because I didn’t have the time.

Slow Cooking BBQ Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1 tsp. dry prepared mustard
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup vinegar
Directions: combine ingredients in bowl and mix well. Slow cook over meat of choice for at least 2 hours.
- My review: This will be my favorite winter BBQ sauce for spareribs. I recommend using this recipe when baking meat in the oven as it won’t hold as well in a crock pot. I cooked my ribs for about an hour on 300 degrees, I then mixed the BBQ sauce, poured it over the ribs and continued slow cooking for 2 more hours. The ribs were tender and delicious. Again a great recipe because of the simple ingredients I already had on hand.

Barbecue recipes seem perfect. It is because I love barbecue especially with the special sauce. It is definitely fits for any picnic or family reunion. Maybe I should try the perfect barbecue sauce since the brand of ketchup is available in my place. I wonder if Worcestershire sauce is also available. Thanks for sharing these recipes.

Surely home made is better. I love honey based BBQ sauce recipes. I have one favorite and very easy to prepare honey BBQ sauce recipe:
you will need half cup of honey, one cup of tomato paste, quarter of a cup of white vinegar and two sppons of mustard. This is deadly good! you can also try adding two spoons of any strong alcohol to the sauce, this increases flavours.

Thank you to Cassy, too, whose honey recipe I am adding to my list. :-)
BTW, homemade BBQ sauces make much better “BBQ-Style Baked Beans” with your own plain cooked navy beans or pea beans than any canned version. :-)
In our country, summer is already coming and I hope this is a big help too…
