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. Recipe comes from Sue A. Mertens Minick from Hazelwood, MO. She actually found this site on the internet! And yes, she is family 🙂

July 16, 2017 at 11:11 amHello 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?

February 1, 2010 at 7:48 amIn 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??
