My Favorite Commercial BBQ Sauce(s)


 
Does anyone use Cattleman's anymore? About 60 years ago they had one flavor, the bottle had a paper sleeve on it. There were only about 5 choices of bottled bbq sauce back then. :LOL:
John, I don't remember Cattleman's. Growing up in the 70's and 80's I remember mostly having Open Pit and sometimes Kraft in the house. What else did we have to choose from? Like you said, it probably wasn't much.

I think bbq sauces started to become more popular around that time but were big companies like Kraft dominating the market. Cattleman’s had a paper sleeve like Lea and Perrin’s Worcestershire sauce, the paper sleeve is what made it stand out.
 
I think Cattleman’s started out as a steak house back in the day and they bottled their sauce because of customer demand.
 
All my stepdad used growing up (through the ‘90’s) was KC Masterpiece.

Come to think, I don’t think I’ve had any since…well about the ‘90’s🤣

Just yesterday I gave the H-E-B store brand Carolina sauce a try. I had a small pork butt in the WSM and didn’t have any pork sauce in the pantry. Very nice mustard/vinegar sauce with a medium consistency. Was exceptional when mixed in with chopped meat for a Sloppy Porky sandwich. Best $2.10 barbecue purchase I’ve ever made.
HEB never disappoints
 
Stubbs Spicy for ribs.. Prefer no HFCS..

Question for everybody....
Have you looked at what bbq sauces are offered at on-line bbq stores, as opposed to your local grocery store ?

You are right! When you think bbq sauce it's all traditional red, I actually didn't know about yellow or white until I joined this amazing group here.(y) I need to try new things with an open mind.
 
We've used most of the mainstream sauces, then I stumbled on San Diego Phil's. Tomato based, tangy but not too hot to accomodate my wife. It does well combined with Frank's Red Hot sauce when I want more heat. I use it as a dipping sauce, a binder for smoking, on grilled chicken and in pulled pork. My wife loves it on ribs but I don't sauce mine.
