Cook time: 10 Minutes

Yes, it’s true: a cream-based BBQ sauce exists. Wisconsinites rejoice! Typically known as “Alabama white sauce,” this creamy, tangy condiment is usually paired with smoked chicken, but goes great on pork as well. Drizzle it on poultry or pork that has been roasted or smoked and see what the fuss is all about. An all-purpose sauce that’s full of flavor, this also goes great on pork rinds, potatoes or anything that needs to be taken up a notch—including fish fry!

Ingredients

¼ cup sour cream

¼ cup avocado oil mayonnaise

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon sugar (or honey or maple syrup)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

⅛ teaspoon paprika

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

A few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne (optional)

Directions

1

Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl until well-combined. Transfer the sauce to a glass storage container and refrigerate until ready to use. This is best served the next day to help the flavors meld, but it can be used right away. Store for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
