Missouri Style Barbecue Sauce is the style of barbeque sauce that I grew up with, this is a two-step basting process. First, you baste the meat with a flavorful basting sauce, and when the meat is almost done, then you add the real barbeque sauce. The recipe comes from Sue A. Mertens Minick from Hazelwood, MO. She actually found this site on the internet! And yes, she is family 🙂

Hello Stephanie. I have found my Grandmothers family secret recipe for barbecue sauce. To give you an idea of how old this is I’m 66 my grandmother was born in 1900 so this is about 100-year-old recipe. There is one ingredient that I cannot find anywhere maybe you’ll know what this is. Have you ever heard of Missouri sauce?
Stephanie
They may be the basting, I don’t know what context that ingredient is being used in. If you can share that I might be of more help.

In the description of the recipe, you said that the first baste is with an onion flavored sauce. There is nothing onion flavored in the baste recipe. Is there an ingredient missing??
Stephanie
Sue is actually family to me, I was thinking of other family members that add onions to this initial basting sauce, hence my write up that way. So if you like onion, I would suggest you add some and give the basting sauce a slightly different flavor.
