Chili and Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce

This Southwestern inspired chili and brown sugar barbecue sauce is great on beef, chicken, pork, and some meat substitutes. Use it as a basting sauce while grilling, or simply serve on the side. The lime juice, chili powder, and cumin blend beautifully with the tomato, while the sweetness of the brown sugar creates a mouthwatering taste experience. Give this sauce a try at your next cookout.
