Mississippi Sweet and Sour Barbeque Sauce

  5.0 – 5 reviews  • BBQ Sauce Recipes

All sorts of steak should be topped with these sautéed mushrooms. Additionally great on baked potatoes. Even years after I prepared these for them, I continue to receive calls from others requesting the recipe. They truly are excellent!

Excellent, versatile sauce. Enjoy…We surely did!

I didn’t have whiskey, but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Absolutely amazing!!! This will make me abandon (for a while) a Kansas City Style BBQ recipe I’ve used for the past 5 years! Bravo!
Stephanie Johnson
This is an excellent recipe…and easy to substitute things to change up flavors slightly…love this!

Whew-Whee this is a fantastic BBQ sauce! I made this exactly as written and will do so again when this bottle is finished. It has a nice thickness to it and a very delicious “kick” to the sauce. We’ve used this on burgers, pulled pork, chicken and French fries. Of all of the barbeque sauces I have made, this version is my son’s favorite. He now lives out on his own and asked me to make it for him so that he doesn’t have to take my bottle home with him! Thanks TasteKing for sharing your recipe, it is almost time for me to make another batch. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

This recipe is excellent!! I have used it on pork, chicken and hamburgers. My grandson is allergic to corn syrup, so I left it out and added just a bit more brown sugar and molasses. VERY GOOD. This is the only bbq sauce I have made that he has liked. ENJOY
