Homemade BBQ Sauce Recipe
Use this easy BBQ sauce recipe to make the perfect brisket sauce. So simple and so delicious!
This may not be a fully homemade BBQ sauce recipe, but I think it still counts if I make it my own. Sometimes I just feel like store-bought BBQ sauces are missing something, so why not just add in those extra flavors myself?
Starting with my personal favorite BBQ sauce, I just mixed in some Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and a couple other special ingredients to get the exact flavor I want. I love using this as a brisket sauce because I think it just complements beef brisket so well.
Of course you can use this sauce on any other meat or BBQ dishes you have in mind as well! Make plenty and keep it in your refrigerator, because you never know when you’ll need it (especially during grilling season!).
This “Homemade” BBQ sauce recipe is the perfect Brisket Sauce. Make a batch and see how delicious it is!

How to Make BBQ Sauce for Brisket
Okay, so this isn’t bbq sauce made from scratch kind of homemade, but it’s my own special recipe for the best BBQ sauce. Sure, it starts with a pre-made sauce, but it’s those extra little ingredients that make it PERFECT. The brown sugar adds a bit of sweetness, the red pepper adds a tiny bit of spice, and the Worcestershire sauce adds a bit of tanginess. Together, it creates the perfect brisket sauce.
There’s not much to this once you’ve got the ingredients down. Just combine everything in a saucepan, bring it to a boil and stir. Once it’s done, let it cool before storing. Pour it into a jar and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
This recipe makes about 1 2/3 cups of sauce. You can easily double it if you need more!
Whether you use this BBQ sauce recipe on our Baked Brisket, or use it for something else, I know you’ll love it!

This was perfect. Just cooked my first brisket and this sauce was exactly spot on what I was wanting.
Great quick, easy sauce. Everything was in my cupboard. Added a great element to our Brisket.

Curious what brand of stone where is that gravy bowl/pourer? Love it also! ????

This came out great! I skipped adding the ketchup and other stuff, though, and just doubled the amount of my favorite bbq sauce. It was Perfect. 2 cups of Sweet Baby Rays. My brisket was heavenly.
So glad to hear it!
They are cooking right now. I didn’t see a recipe for the rub. So I just did equal parts . Gosh I hope it’s good.
