What makes great homemade BBQ sauce recipes? Well, it could be the time and love you put into making this delicious barbecue sauce for your family to enjoy, or it could be the fresh ingredients you use.

The barbecue you create is what makes your meals so tasty and wonderful. The main ingredients of all barbecue sauces are tomato sauce or a combination of tomato puree and tomatoes. Knowing this, you should be able to create some of your own recipes that will be enjoyed and passed down through your family.

The easiest BBQ sauce can be made very quickly. You will need 2 cups of your favorite tomato sauce, 2 chopped onions, ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and chili powder to taste. Sauté the onions and then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens. Then brush on your favorite meat.

You can also add or substitute the above ingredients to create some unique barbecue sauces of your own. You may prefer to add items like bell peppers for a nice flavor or even Tabasco sauce for a spicier style.

Now you can choose your aromas and spices to add to the tomato sauce. You can use tomato sauce or tomato puree with a whole tomato. Try pineapple juice or orange juice for a tropical flavor or add liquid smoke flavoring for that outdoor flavor. You can even use molasses or your favorite pancake syrup to enhance the flair of your barbecue sauce. Don’t just think simple, try the various flavors like maple or butter pecan to add a new and unique flavor. Either way, you’re sure to find a delicious recipe your cookout party will love.
