Her husband might joke about putting sauce on meat, this one is certainly worthy. Teresa doctors up a common store-bought sauce to create one that’s a great compliment to the meat. True to form, she has listened to her customers over the years to perfect the sauce based on feedback.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup Cattleman’s BBQ Smoky Base Barbecue Sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup (such as Hunt’s)
