Today we are making my keto-friendly best mustard BBQ sauce recipe!
I'm not even kidding when I say that this is the most delicious bbq sauce I have ever tasted, and I've tasted a lot.
Maybe my renewed taste buds are the reason, but this stuff is finger-lickin' good. I had it on pulled pork today, and next week I'm going to try it on wings!
Growing up in North and South Carolina, I learned a thing or two about barbecue sauce.
First of all, bbq sauce isn't only one color (red). It comes in many colors, flavors, and even consistencies.
It can be vinegar-based, tomato-based, mayo-based, and yes, even mustard based.
Going to a BBQ means there's going to be a pig cookin', not that we are going to throw some frozen burgers on the grill and call it a bbq (come on now, Yankees, get it right!).
I am partial to mustard-based South Carolina barbecue sauce.
I lived in the tiny town of Loris, SC, for almost ten years, and I know how I like my bbq and my chicken bog (bonus points if you know what this is).
In NC, I like my bbq sauce made with vinegar, but in South Carolina, I want my pork covered in mustard sauce!
I love trying new recipes, and since my husband has been cooking up batches of his bbq sauce for a cook-off he has coming up, so I figured it would be the perfect time to try making my own keto-friendly bbq sauce.

Wow, wow, and wow. This stuff is AWESOME. I found that it also pairs very well with roasted Brussels sprouts!
Nanette says
Oh my gosh, this is tangy on steroids. Used liquid stevia as that's what I had. Slathered it all over the shredded pork shoulder and let it sit for a bit, after mixing well. Fantastic. You can adjust the ingredients to taste w/o a problem, but oh, don't skimp on the butter.
Carlo says
Can you please elaborate on the stevia? Is this the liquid or powder? Could I use packets?
ketosizeme says
You can use any type of stevia you like.
