Texas Style Barbecue Sauce

Texas Style Barbecue Sauce

EverydaySweetened

Texas-style barbecue sauce is a tomato-based condiment characterized by its bold balance of sweetness and smoky heat, traditionally used to complement slow-smoked meats like brisket. The sweetened version emphasizes brown sugar or molasses as key ingredients, layered with spices and smoked peppers like chipotle for depth. While rich in flavor, its high sugar content requires mindful portioning when tracking macronutrients, and it often contains potential allergens like gluten from Worcestershire sauce.
