This is a delicious on its own basic bbq sauce that you can easily tweak.

To experiment, divide it in 4 parts, and add different ingredients to each part.

I frequently make this basic sauce and just add a 1/2 cup of chipotle in adobo sauce to it. Yum!

        s that mustard just yellow mustard? Can I use mustard powder? Gosh I have never put coffee in barbecue sauce. It sounds intriguing.

          It's yellow mustard, but you can use Dijon or dry. Not sure how much dry, so taste test, but probably a tbs. or so of Colman's. Others are usually not as hot.
