The Best Low Carb BBQ Sauce Recipe w/Video

[joatsaint 2,814]

Finally got around to making a video to go with my favorite low-carb BBQ recipe.

I was searching for a replacement for my favorite Kraft BBQ Sauce - since it has sugar in it and I ran across this one. It had rave reviews and it tastes really good. I'll need to tweak it a few times to get that sweet/tangy flavor I like so much, but for a good low-carb BBQ sauce, this one works well. The best part was, I already had most of the ingredients on hand (you probably do too).

2 Tablespoons is 12 calories vs. 60 calories for the equivalent Kraft BBQ sauce.

Indispensable Almost No Carb Barbecue Sauce
This isn't a substitute for the "real thing," it's an improvement. It's so good and I have to keep making more.

3/8 cup vinegar
1 1/2 cup Tomato sauce. (1 15 oz can) Don't buy a tomato sauce that has spices or flavorings in it!
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon yellow hot dog mustard
3/4 tablespoon Franks Hot Sauce (the chicken wing sauce)
3/4 tablespoon salt (optional)
1 dash cayenne pepper. Go easy!!!!
3 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
6 teaspoons Splenda or 18 drops of Liquid Splenda

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Optional Things I've Tried and Liked:
Instead of 6 tsp Splenda, I tried 3 tsp Splenda, 3 tsp brown sugar - it really gave the sauce "body" and flavor and only adds 45 calories to the entire recipe.
Toss in 2 or 3 tablespoons of garlic powder
Toss in 2 or 3 tablespoons of onion powder
Double up on Franks Hot Sauce - I don't find Franks very hot, and I like the flavor
Use Apple Cider Vinegar instead of White Vinegar
Add 1/3 can of tomato paste

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add vinegar and all other ingredients except mustard to a sauce pan and slowly heat.
Put mustard in a cup and slowly stir in a couple tablespoons of sauce until well blended.
Then add mustard mixture back to sauce in pan.

Bring to a boil, and lower heat. Let simmer for a 20 minutes. Let cool, then refrigerate till cold then serve.

Note: this sauce might taste a bit peculiar if you taste it when it is still hot. Don't worry! Something magical happens when it sits in the fridge. And it only gets better overnight!!!
