There's a lot of options out there when it comes to store-bought barbecue sauces, and it can be tough to pick one. We've got you covered! We did the legwork so you don't have to — all that's left for you to do is select your meat and get cooking. If you enjoy high fructose corn syrup, you'll love Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce. At some point, Kraft decided to switch from using real sugar to using high fructose corn syrup with an artificially sweet aftertaste.
To make matters even worse, Kraft attempts to cover up the phony sweetness of the corn syrup by adding an obnoxious level of spiciness. The spiciness isn't pleasant; it tastes like stale black pepper. Plus, they have to put so much spice to mask the high fructose corn syrup that it ends up being more spicy than sweet. This stuff is just a disaster. All that high fructose corn syrup can't be too great for your health, either. Final thoughts? Avoid it.
Another of the budget options on your grocer's shelves is KC Masterpiece Original BBQ Sauce. And just like Kraft's concoction, this stuff is absolutely awful. KC Masterpiece attempts to use hickory smoke flavor to balance its sickly sweetness, and the result is an overpowering taste of mediocrity. If you make the mistake of adding it to meat of any kind, this sauce is all you will taste.
Additionally, KC Masterpiece Original BBQ sauce has a chemical aftertaste, which is definitely not what you want after an evening over a hot grill.
Don't be fooled by any of the other versions that KC Masterpiece also markets. They taste almost exactly the same as their original sauce with extremely tiny hints reminding you of brown sugar, honey, or other mild flavors.
If you're addicted to sugar and that sweet tooth needs satisfying even when you're serving up savory meals, go with Sweet Baby Ray's. It's not particularly good, mind you, but at least it doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Instead of attempting to mask or balance the sweetness, this sauce doubles down on it by combining high fructose corn syrup, molasses, regular corn syrup, white sugar, and pineapple juice concentrate.
