Kansas City Style Barbecue Sauce is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 2.
Rated 3 out of 5 by from How can this be sugar free? Im a diabetic type2 as well. The ingredients in this recipe is still not healthy for diabetics. Ketup, molasses, salt, and tomato sauce is high sugar and salt. Dont try this unless your into high sugar levels

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely PERFCT! I made this a few weeks ago, after trying a bag of Truvia spoonable sweetener. I am type II diabetic and am looking for recipes where I can include Truvia and still have lots of flavor and this one really fits that bill! I've loved the full sugar barbecue sauces, the Kansas City sweet ones, but they always made my glucose levels shoot through the roof! I made this recipe up, refrigerated over night and tried it on some pork chops. It was AMAZING!!! Just the right consistency and sweetness and has amazing flavor too! You've got to try this, I swear you won't be disappointed!
