Finding a bottle of barbecue sauce without sugar added to it is like finding a needle in a haystack! It’s one of the main ingredients in BBQ sauce which is what made making this recipe tricky. I’ve tried, and tried, and tried again and this… this is the one I have finally said YES to. This All-Purpose Whole30 BBQ Sauce is perfectly vinegary, a little spicy, and a little sweet.
The best thing about this recipe is that it requires no CRAZY ingredients, and all you need to do is toss a few things in a saucepan and simmer for about 10-15 minutes! Wam bam!
Use this All-Purpose Whole30 BBQ Sauce for pretty much any recipe that calls for bbq sauce! Plus, now that I’ve finally nailed down a recipe for bbq sauce– I’ve got some fun new recipes coming your way, like this Instant Pot Whole30 BBQ Pulled Pork and Whole30 BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders. The possibilities are endless, folks!
- 16oz. can tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

- 1 tbsp. yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

August 3, 2017 at 11:18 amI’d say Tabasco is the second best bet. Frank’s is okay, too, but it’s a little more “buffalo” flavored if that makes sense?
