Summer has gone by too quickly! But, I have been enjoying the last days of summer by grilling and my family just loves the Heinz BBQ sauces! Our favorite is the Heinz Hawaii Sweet & Smoky BBQ Sauce!

Hawaii is home to a rich food heritage that brings sweet tropical fruit and the smoked flavor of Kalua Pig together in one delicious luau feast. This sauce delivers a mouthwatering balance of pineapple and mango, savory Asian soy, and subtle smoke that is distinctly Hawai’ian.

Just love the Slow-Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork and Slaw Sliders!

You can find the recipe here! 

I also love the flavor of this one!

Kansas City: “Sweet and smoky” lends to the signature flavor profiles of this city’s sought-after barbeque. A thick sauce shadowed by a sweet tang takes traditional pit-style Kansas City BBQ up a crowd-pleasing notch.

So, if you are going to have a BBQ or use a slow-cooker this upcoming holiday weekend..don’t forget the Heinz BBQ sauce!

Here are a few other great choices and recipes:

  Texas: In Texas, there’s nothing shy about barbecue, and a great Texas style sauce means bold flavors and big personality. This sauce captures the very best of Texas barbecue – combining spices like cumin and chili powder for a sauce that’s bold and flavorful with just the right kick.

        Carolina Vinegar: Carolina is all about the traditions of whole-hog barbecue slow-cooked over wood coals. Meet a true Carolina style sauce that blends the tang of apple cider vinegar, with just the right balance of sweet and spice to make it the perfect addition to pulled pork.
