Slaps BBQ Sauce Recipe

The Slaps BBQ Sauce Recipe stands out for its rich, creamy texture and bold balance of smoky, tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors. Unlike traditional tomato based barbecue sauces, this version uses mayonnaise as its base, giving it a smooth, velvety consistency that coats meats exceptionally well.

  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 3 cups creamy mayonnaise
  • 4 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Equipment

Method
 

Step 1: Mix The Base
  1. Grab a large bowl and whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and horseradish until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Step 2: Build The Flavor
  1. Add in the brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne, honey, and a splash of liquid smoke. Keep whisking until everything is well combined and the texture looks even.
Step 3: Taste And Finish
