This keto BBQ sauce uses a sugar substitute to keep it keto friendly, but it's every bit as good as the store-bought version.

Notes

  • If you don't want to use ketchup, or can't find a no-sugar added version, you can substitute with 1/2 cup tomato puree mixed with 1/2 cup water.
  • Any type of liquid smoke works, but I particularly like hickory.
  • The servings size is just about 1.5 tbsp for 2 grams of carbs.
  • If you don't want to discard the onions, you can finally chop them and keep them int the sauce. If you want a smooth sauce, just puree it in the blender.
  • The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
