Other ways to use barbecue sauce
- First of all, barbecue makes a great sauce for pizza instead of the traditional tomato sauce. Try barbecue sauce, grilled and chopped chicken, red onions and cheddar on your next pizza.
- Did you know barbecue sauce makes a great salad dressing? Mix approximately 1/2 cup mayo with 1/3 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand), 1 tablespoon diced sweet pickles, and salt and pepper to taste. It’s so simple and so yummy!
