Best Ever Homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipe

Instructions
Prep:5min
Do you have ketchup, mustard and honey? You have to try this best EVER Basic Homemade BBQ Sauce. It's a simple base for starting your own BBQ sauce deliciousness. Mix up the ingredients below and you'll have a mild-tasting sauce. Then, if you'd like, add in some pantry favorites like smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder to really bring in the flavor. RECIPE UPDATE: A lot of people in the comments below really love this sauce as is, as does my family. However, a lot of people found it too bland. I therefore retested the recipe and adjusted it. The original recipe, in case you loved that, was 1 and 1/2 cups ketchup, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1/4 cup honey, a pinch of salt. The revised recipe is now given below. It's still very basic and can still be used as a sauce base but it has some more flavor elements to start with. Note also that some people find the below sauce a bit ketchupy in flavor. If you're concerned you will feel similarly, you can use half the amount of ketchup and then sub in tomato sauce, like marinara, for the rest.
