Homemade Zippy Barbecue Sauce

We love this BBQ sauce on everything! It's easy to make and has a little bit of heat from the pepper!  You can cut back on the pepper and optional cayenne to minimize the heat.

Pair this BBQ sauce with our favorite ribs recipe (on the smoker) here.

Or try it with:

• smokies
• pulled pork
• as a sauce on pizza (try pulled pork, shredded beef or chicken)
• burgers
• meat loaf
