This BBQ sauce with a mustard base is delicious. The majority of BBQ sauces are made using ketchup, but in the South, we like the mustard-based variety. You should at least give it a shot!

I made the recipe as written, tasted it, very good. I love honey mustard. I added a little liquid smoke & hot sauce, which gave it a little kick. With or without my extras, this recipe is a winner!
I made this and used it on chicken wings. I liked it very much.
Great mustard BBQ sauce. I also use it on sandwiches and hamburger buns. I put a tablespoon of Balsamic vinegar then add regular vinegar to make up the 1/4 cup.
This was a good base… I added more honey and a 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper to spice it up a little… very good with pulled pork loin.
I did not care for this. Way too sweet. This is not a BBQ sauce but a honey mustard sauce. To amend, I added an additional 1/2 of yellow mustard to the 1 cup of spicy brown mustard that I used. I also use 1/4c of cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt and more black pepper to taste. This made the sauce 5 stars and went very well with my pork shoulder roast I seasoned with spicy brown mustard and brown sugar rub.
Solid recipe, although it was too sweet for my liking when I made it with these measurements. I cut the honey and brown sugar down the second time and it was perfectly tangy and delicious. I recommend cutting down the sweet stuff down to 2 tablespoons
I glazed my chicken wings with this sauce. It was delicious!
This sauce is amazing on all meat types. I’d drink it straight if I could lol… IT’S THAT GOOD! As you can see I’ve made it in bulk so that I can easily squeeze it on everything lol
I added 2tbsp of Cholula hot sauce
Love mustard BBQ Sauce. This is really bright & tangy. Have never liked catsup. And I live in Iowa.
I did this last night and added red pepper flakes. I poured it over two large pork steaks,cover with cling wrap and baked at 175 for 6-8 hours. It turned out wonderfully.
I tooke ChristieSC’s suggestions for authentic SC flavor and it was a huge hit! I made some pulled pork in a slow cooker using this as a cooking sauce and my neighbors praised it as the best pulled pork they ever had. It was really quite delicious and I’m fixin to make some more!
Added a little onion powder and garlic powder. This time I didn’t have any honey so I doubled the brown sugar. And a little cayenne. I’ve made this a lot and it’s a fantastic sauce as is but also a great jumping off point to make it your own. This one is not as tangy as some I’ve tried and I liked it much better.
This is a fine SC mustard BBQ sauce but its basic set of ingredients leave the resulting sauce a bit flat. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good sauce, but other sauce recipes seem to offer more depth. As a native South Carolinian (and SC BBQ blogger), I have spent a lifetime trying variety of mustard-based sauces, both at the restaurants I review and recipes I try. Bottom line, this sauce won’t steer you wrong and, let’s face it, pork and mustard-based sauces were meant for one another!
I made the adjustments other reviewers made but I found it a little too spicy, wish I had used the full amount of brown sugar. Will definitely make again.
Changed my life, it did.
This was a hit at my 4th of July BBQ party
I really liked this sauce. I used it on a pork loin I smoked to make a Cuban pork burger. I added a bit more brown sugar (1/4 cup more). Will definitely make again!
This is a good recipes for a sauce that’s hard to find in the Pacific Northwest. I love mustard on everything, so adding a tang to my BBQ is exactly what I was hoping far. I made a huge batch of this!
The sauce is very tangy but good. Very quick to put the ingredients together when not cooking over the stovetop.
Solid recipe to start with, but you’ll need to play with it a bit. Try subbing champagne vinegar, Dijon, and dark brown sugar… It’s roughly what I use to impress my SC upcountry inlaws.
