Texas BBQ Sauce

Texas BBQ Sauce is the sauce you want to make if you’re looking for the perfect balance between sweet and spicy.

What is Texas BBQ Sauce? It’s a well-seasoned mixture of tomato, spices, celery, onions and garlic. It’s somewhat old-fashioned yet one of the best bbq sauces you can make.

It’s rich in flavor compared to most bbq sauces and pairs so nicely with sliced brisket. Or if you can’t wait for the meat you can just lick it off a spoon.

Since this recipe uses tomato sauce, it’s a thinner sauce so it won’t hide the flavor of the meat you choose to put it on. This sauce actually makes your hard work on the grill shine. Think of the Texas bbq sauce as the cherry on top.

Compared to most other Texas bbq sauces, this one is simply made. No ultra fancy ingredients or complicated instructions. That makes life a little easier, right? Easy and simple.

Another perk of this recipe is that you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry. Simple, clean ingredients, and they join together to make the best Texas bbq you’ll ever taste.
