Easy Peasy Barbeque Sauce

This homemade BBQ sauce is the best I’ve ever had, and I’d put it up against any store-bought BBQ sauce—it’s just that good. It’s perfectly seasoned, sweet without being too sweet, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Here’s why you will love this recipe:

Easy – Once you mix all the ingredients in a saucepan, this recipe is pretty hands-off. Just let it simmer until it’s nice and thick, stirring occasionally.

Delicious – It’s literally the best BBQ sauce, with the perfect balance of flavors.

Healthier – Okay, barbecue sauce isn’t exactly a health food, but when you make it from scratch, you can skip the preservatives, corn syrup, and artificial flavors.

Versatile – There are so many ways to use this sauce – as  basting or dipping sauce for BBQ ribs, a topping for a burger, or a marinade for grilled chicken, you’ll have plenty of ways to use this sauce.
