Easy Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipe

Barbecue sauce is such an interesting thing. Everyone seems to have an opinion on itand there areso many amazingly tasty variationsof itas well. I love making this easy homemade BBQ sauce recipe! There’s something satisfying saying that “I Made This Sauce!” It’ll impress both friends and family alike!

How Do You Make Homemade BBQ Sauce?

My husband just happens to be a pro at throwing together the perfect barbecue sauce with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. For this particular recipe though, I started throwing ingredients in the prep bowl and then he came in and took over, lol. (He’s the one with a good taste for it!)

I had to write down everything he did and make him measure it. (Normally he goes based on taste alone). This recipe is the sauce that he came up with! It’s actually a very easy BBQ sauce recipe to make. It’s a little sweet, yet a little tangy and just slightly spicy. If you don’t like the spice, reduce the pepper down to 1/4 teaspoon and leave out the Tabasco Sauce.

To actually make this recipe, I’ll let you follow the directions toward the end. Be sure to follow them closely. If you end up leaving out the ingredients that make it spicy, don’t worry. It’ll still taste amazing!

How Do you Thicken Homemade BBQ Sauce?

I know, sometimes you set out to make the perfect homemade BBQ sauce and then later find that it’s more runny than you think it’s supposed to be (or that you would prefer). There’s a few ways to thicken your homemade bbq sauce. I’ll list them below:

1. Cook it down. The longer you cook it, the more it will reduce (or cook down), which will thicken the sauce.
2. You can use flour. Just add 2 tablespoons of flour to 1/4 cup of cold water. Mix it well, then stir into the sauce. This should not change the taste.
3. Use cornstarch. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Stir and mix well while cooking over medium heat a few more minutes, as it thickens.
