A quick and easy way to boost the flavor of a bottle of bargain barbecue sauce.
Dressed up Bottled Barbecue Sauce
I have a favorite homemade barbecue sauce that I like to use for chicken and ribs and a favorite bottled sauce I like to buy - original Sweet Baby Ray's is still my favorite right off the shelf sauce.
But... it is a bit more costly than the cheaper versions, which can almost always be found on sale somewhere, and often under a dollar! You know the ones that I'm talking about.
Premium brands can be as much as $5.00 or more a bottle when they aren't on sale.
Store brand and other bargain sauces are usually pretty decent sauces and not bad on their own at all, but you can certainly bump them up quite a few levels too, to make them your own.
Nobody has to know but you!
Here's what you'll need to make my Dressed Up Bottled Barbecue Sauce:
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle bargain barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- Couple dashes hot sauce
- Dash Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning, or to taste, optional
Here's how to make it!
Grab a bowl big enough to hold everything and load it up with the sauce, ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire, brown sugar and Cajun or Creole seasoning, if using.
Whisk it together until everything is well blended. There's my favorite rotary whisk (#ad)! I'm telling y'all, as we get older, dexterity can sometimes become an issue and these whisk only require that you hold and push, instead of having to whip your wrist.
Blend everything together and refrigerate until needed, or transfer to squirt bottles for storage.
By the way, this is great with my Grilled Backyard Barbecued Chicken y'all!
