Regional favorite
Kansas City tradition.
Sweet, thick, and molasses deep. Tomato and brown sugar, the style most folks picture when they hear barbecue.
How to run it
Sauce it right.
- 01
Cook the protein most of the way naked. Sauce is a finish, not a marinade.
- 02
Brush or mop it on in the last 10 to 15 minutes.
- 03
Let it tack up over the heat. Watch the sugars, they scorch fast.
- 04
Hit it again at the table. That's the coat that counts.

Blue Ribbon Competition-Style BBQ Sauce is a sweet and smoky competition bbq sauce with a real hickory backbone, made by PS Seasoning for Wisconsin 26 Mercantile.
PS Seasoning built this one on a tomato and molasses base with hickory smoke and a clean vinegar cut. It runs sweet and sticky, smoky and smooth, the kind of glaze that turns heads on the Kansas City competition circuit. The molasses gives it the shine and the cling, the hickory gives it depth, and the vinegar keeps the whole thing from going flat.
Run it as a finishing glaze in the last stretch so it sets into a lacquer, work it in as a marinade the night before, or set it out as a dip. It hits like a competition sauce whether you are chasing a trophy or just feeding the backyard.
