Carolina meets the Midwest. Cut back the mustard to almost 3/4 of a cup, added two fresh cloves of garlic diced and one onion diced. Added about 1/2 cup of EVOO along with rest of ingredients, mixed all together used it as a marinade and let ribs marinate overnight. Grilled the next day. Yummy Yummy Yummy. Thanks for the post.

We marinated boneless chicken breast for about an hour before grilling. The chicken had great flavor and was very juicy. I will use it again.

This sauce was very good, if you like mustard. My husband loved it, but he loves mustard. I added 1/2 cup ketchup to it to help tone it down a bit for my taste. It helped.

My husband and I prefer red sauce -- that said, we tried this and it was FANTASTIC! It's easily the best mustard sauce I've ever tried. Might even make a convert out of me....

i cut the mustard down to 3/4 cup and added 1/4 cup honey to take off the edge of what i knew would be a tangy sauce. cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crock pot with the sauce, and my husband loved it! we recently moved to north carolina, and this sauce stands up to what we've had in the highest-recommended diners here!

Great injector marinade for fried turkey. Be liberal with the hot sauce.

I served this with a slow cooked pork roast on sourdough buns and my "never been to Carolina" group of friends here in California loved it.

I am used to tomato based BBQ sauces so this was a nice change. I still prefer tomato based BBQ sauce but am glad I tried this. We had it with the brisket my hubby smoked tonight. This will be a keeper for when I am in the mood for something different.

This sauce is the best mustard based sauce I have ever had. My family uses it on just about every kind of meat in place of ketchup.

Thanks for a very good sauce recipe. I love pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw. Now, I have never been to the Carolina's to try for myself, but I did enjoy this sauce. I was short on time and made it in my pressure cooker (it did not scorch on low pressure for 10min + 10min). After making the sauce, I added my pork sirloin roast, cut in large chunks and cooked on medium pressure for 60 min. The meat fell apart when I shredded it. I added some sauce to moisten and passed more at dinner. My only change was for my daughter who is not terribly fond of vinegary sauces. I added a bit of ketchup (1/4c.)to cut the tang a bit. Next time I will try without and add the full amount + a bit of the chili powder and tabasco. Gonna go eat some leftovers now! Thanks

I substituted some of the brown sugar for honey and I also added onions and garlic that I removed after cooking.

Had a good flavor although I didn't add any hot sauce it was plenty hot! Also if you blend regular BBQ (famous dave's zesty sauce) it gives it a better flavor.

I used the BBQ Pork for Sandwiches recipe to cook my pork loin roast, then I drained the broth and added this sauce. Yumm-my! The vinegar fumes made our eyes water and our noses run, but that didn't stop us from inhaling our sandwiches!

This was excellent. I browned 5 lbs. of boneless chops, slathered them with this sauce and cooked them on low in the crock pot with about 3/4 cup of sauce. When they were falling apart I added the balance of the sauce (only made 2 cups of sauce) and shredded the meat. We had sandwiches the next day and my Carolina-raised husband said it was the best barbeque sandwich he'd ever eaten. I steamed the buns and topped the BBQ with a little extra hot sauce and regular slaw (as opposed to BBQ slaw) Yummy - better than 5 stars!

All I have to say is WOW. Made this for my daughters b-day party for family only and they all raved. I cooked my bbq in the sauce as well as put it out for others to pile on. Thank you for the great recipe!

Wow! As I prepared the sauce I seriously had doubts about this recipe. However after basting it over grilled chicken during the final stages of cooking, I became a believer. I could drink this sauce! I did do some slight modifications. I reduced the mustard to 3/4 cup, and used the pepper in moderation. (We have little kids)--hence, not so spicy. Still, it was fabulous! Thanks for such a great recipe!
