This Kansas City-style homemade bbq sauce recipe is sweet, tangy, smoky, and perfect on just about everything.

Homemade BBQ Sauce

tomato sauce

apple cider vinegar

honey

tomato paste

molasses

Worcestershire

liquid smoke

smoked paprika

garlic powder

black pepper

onion powder

fine sea salt

cayenne

Combine ingredients.  Whisk all ingredients together in a medium saucepan.

Simmer. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

Serve. Use the sauce immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.

So gooooood!!!! I’m allergic to honey so I subbed with brown sugar and instead of molasses I subbed maple syrup. After simmering all together was a little chunky as the tomato can was chopped tomatoes in purée so I blended it into a smooth sauce. A-MAZ-ING!!!
(I added 1/3 Cup extra brown sugar to simmer &amp; 1 red onion and blended It all together. Pour it over a beef brisket and slow cooked that! Soooo good! (Extra sugar + onion was for the brisket recipe) slow cooked that baby for 8 hours and wow!!)

I have now used this recipe for a smoked brisket and smoked pulled pork. Each time I added a full tablespoon of red pepper to give it an extra kick. Its absolutely amazing.  How amazing you ask? Well I've never left a comment on a recipe before.

Very good. Dig this on some get down chicken..thanks for this recipe...

This recipe is ah maze ing!!  Soooo delicious!  I didn’t have tomato sauce so I subbed the tomato sauce, vinegar, and tomato paste for ketchup!  Used it in slow cooker to make bbq beef on a bun!

Went to make ribs, and discovered we didn't have any bbq sauce in the house, which is a shocker, because we always have bbq sauce. Jumped online, found this recipe, and I'm glad I did. I made it exactly as listed, and it is perfectly tangy with a little bit of sweet. Used the leftovers the next day on pasta with veggies. Love this!

Made this as written for pulled pork tonight. Excellent barbecue sauce.

Damn good recipe i added a couple extra seasoning for my taste (grill mates mesquite seasoning and burbon brown sugar season) and instead of liquid smoke I smoked it on the smoker with hickory and apple wood for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs at 150-200  i don't think I'll have any other BBQ sauce

Perfect for some oven baked fall off the bone ribs-everyone greatly enjoyed!!

Fabulous sauce! I eliminated the liquid smoke because I hate anything smoked and used sweet Hungarian paprika instead of smoked for the same reason. The result was better than any commercial sauce I’ve ever used.

Very easy to make and delicious BBQ sauce! Tangy, smoky, sweet. YUM!! Thank you for this recipe. Fourth of July BBQ Tofu, potato salad, and baked beans!

Just made this easy recipe for BBQ Sauce.  Wow!  I ran out of my bottled sauce, and needed some ASAP!  Found yours first with good ratings.  Didn't have Liquid Smoke but just ordered some for the next time. 
I like your other recipes too.  Will try them soon.

How do I figure out the nutrition facts about this sauce? It is so good..

Just a super good recipe. it went well on my grilled beef rib side.

YummO! I love the flavor. I added one squeezed orange at the end.

Making this BBQ sauce as well bc I am making pulled pork And realized I didn’t have enough BBQ sauce!

This is brilliant. I own and run a premium Mexican restaurant in Bali, and have cooked sauces for a decade professionally. I followed this to a "t" and I can say, as someone who makes and sells high end sauces for a living, this is an exceptional recipe. It is a near duplicate, in flavor, of one of Sweet Baby Ray's sauces. It is also very modifiable. It is fantastic as is, but you can also add a good dollop of yellow mustard to it to broaden the flavor, and a bit of pineapple syrup as well for an even closer copy of SBR. 

Great job This is my second or third time using Gimme Some Oven tips, and I am very impressed. Gracias.

I just made this for pulled pork and it is amazingly delicious! The only ingredient I didn't have was liquid smoke. This will definitely be my go to recipe. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this recipe! It’s super easy and  we just loved it!  We made it with puréed tomatoes from our garden and we’re a little nervous about how it would come out, but it was fantastic. We simply had to cook them down a bit longer, which made the sauce silky smooth. No problem since we were slow-smoking the ribs for it to marry up to.

This is the only recipe i need for great sauce. Thank you for sharing.

So um...yeah, about this recipe. My boyfriend made this using the ingredients (he messed with his own ratio and added turmeric) and it was LITERALLY THE BEST TASTING BBQ SAUCE WE HAVE EVER HAD!!!!

In my humble Kansas City opinion, this really is the best homemade BBQ sauce recipe! It’s sweet, it’s tangy, it’s smoky, and it’s perfect on just about everything. Here's the recipe: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/homemade-bbq-sauce-recipe/
