Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and tangy with a punch of black pepper. A mustard base bbq sauce that is great on just about everything from pulled pork to grilled chicken, hot dogs and brats, and I’ve even dip raw veggies in it. It’s incredibly easy and ridiculously good.

Football season has officially began and I couldn’t be more excited.

You heard that right. A once non-football fan is now looking forward to the season. Partly because I love cozy football Sundays, but mostly because of the food. A few years ago I started making football-ish types of food just about every Sunday for the fall and winter months. Like chili, coney dogs, pizza or French dip sandwiches. Fall food that can be enjoyed on the couch in front of the TV. Six out of seven days of the week we sit at the kitchen table, so it’s a fun break from the norm.

I’ve mentioned we bought a smoker this year, and this week I’m sharing a few recipes we have made over summer because we plan to smoke allthethings for football Sunday.

I’m starting the week out with this INCREDIBLE Carolina Mustard BBQ sauce. It’s one of my absolute favorites – tangy, slightly sweet and peppery. It’s great on smoked pulled pork, grilled chicken and smoked sausages. It’s amazing on just about everything.

To Make Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce You Will Need:

• yellow mustard
• dark brown sugar
• chili powder
• black pepper
• cayenne
• garlic powder
• onion powder
