Making homemade BBQ sauce may sound insane, but now that we make our own Alfredo Sauce and Caesar Dressing, might as well add BBQ Sauce to the list. I believe the more of the homemade foods you can eat, the healthier lifestyle you would have. Just like any mom, I do like occasional eating out and to purchase the pre-made foods. But if there is an easy way to prepare it at home, I am doing that for sure.

This recipe makes about two cups of sauce. You are more than welcome to double or triple the recipe. You can keep the sauce refrigerated in a sterilized container for several weeks.

Thank you!
Hello, I cooked the sauce twice and both times the sauce turned out to be very thick. How can I fix this? thank
Hi Alex, I am not sure what brand of ketchup you use but some brands are more on a thicker side. I would recommend adding a bit of water as you let it simmer on very low heat. Make sure while you cook the BBQ sauce it's on very low heat.
I cooked up some bacon and added it to mix inside blender about half way through and made a smooth sauce and continued cooking, so yummy
Oh wow, bacon, yumm! Love it
how can it make only two cups of sauce, when at the base you start with 5 cups of ketchup ? 🙂
It's actually two cups of ketchup. Sorry about the confusion
