EXCELLENT! I made this recipe exactly as written and it was perfectly delicious! From now on, this will definitely be my go-to BBQ sauce recipe! Thank you, George Stella!!

Wonderful sauce, tangy and sweet. We exchanged the hot sauce for 1/2 Tsp of chipotle powder and some smoked paprika and it’s got a nice kick. I love it and it is so much better than that overly vinegary nasty stuff they have here in West Texas. I’m not a fan of the BBQ they sell in this part of Texas because everything has loads of sugar, even the dry rub. None of the stores here sell sugar free BBQ sauce I am so glad to have found this recipe. Now we can barbeque our own ribs with a dry rub of our choice and add this wonderful sauce. Thank you so much for this great recipe.

Very good. Whole family loved it.

Kudos-This recipe was easy to make and is so tasty. I have followed the low carb lifestyle for about 2 years. This recipe is a great way to dress up a low carb meal with lots of flavor. I didn’t have brown Sugar Twin, so I used the Splenda and added a 1/4 teaspoon of maple flavoring.

I have been on the Adkins diet for about a month and am ready to branch out with more adventuresom receipies than I have been using. I mixed this sauce up this afternoon and was disappointed. I guess if you are not use to really good Texas Barbeque and sauce, it would pass. But I come from a family that has been in the business off and on for over 60 years. After I mixed this up, my husband said, “it’s kind of wimpy.” So…here are my changes. I don’t think it will change the carbs that much:
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 finely diced onion
*1/4 cup A-1 Steak Sauce
*1 tablespoon celery salt
*1/2 lemon
*1 Tablespoon chili powder
*1/2 cup water
*3 hard shakes of Tabasco
*1 teaspoon powdered Horseradish
*and last, 4 tablespoons butter
*cook on low heat about 10 minutes and let cool.

Items marked with * are additional to recipe.

My fussy kids won’t even look at anything low carb so I just didn’t tell ’em! Great sauce, fairly easy and can substitue it for anything you would use regular BBQ sauce with, without all the sugar.
Brandon Braun
This is the BEST & EASIEST BBQ sauce ever! What happened to George Stella???
Elizabeth Jones
and it’s positively delish!!!

This was great with meatballs and even better in grn., red peppers, onions and sausage.

I hate diets. But this was really really good–for once, I didn’t even care that it was low carb!
