Dreamland BBQ Sauce (Dreamgoddess's Copycat Version)

Dreamland BBQ...one of THE best rib joints in the state of Alabama. They make ribs so delicious, it'll make you wanna cry! It's worth every minute of the two hour drive from my house just to eat their ribs, not to mention the plate of Sunbeam bread and bowl of barbecue sauce (for dipping the bread in, of course!) that's brought to the table when you first arrive. I found a copycat recipe (which was an excellent recipe, by the way)for their famous sauce on another website, but I thought it needed just a bit of tweaking. I think Dreamland's sauce has more of a vinegar taste to it and it is definitely hotter than the copycat recipe. This is my version of the copycat recipe that I've tweaked a bit to taste more (in my humble opinion) like Dreamland's original sauce. This recipe makes a very thin bbq sauce.

8 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the tomato and mustard in a dutch oven.
  2. 2

  4. 4
    Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. 5
    Serve warm with smoked or grilled ribs.
  6. 6
    You can also do as we do at Dreamland, take a piece of plain white bread and dunk it in the sauce.
  7. 7
    Absolute heaven in a bowl!

This recipe is terrible!!! It tastes absolutely NOTHING like the dreamland bbq sauce. I'm actually not blaming dreamgoddess, because there are a bunch of very similar recipes online...but holy goodness....way off. To be honest...not only does it not taste like dreamland sauce...it just tastes bad.

    we made this recipe used light corn syrup because i did not have dark, after it simmered we put it on the smoker to keep warm, the smoke taste made it perfect! I am from tuscaloosa and this is the closest recipe we have been able to find that even comes near to dreamland

    As a native Tuscaloosa-an who grew up going to Dreamland on Friday nights as a kid, I have to say this is pretty close to the recipe. I have been here in FL for 10 years and was thinking about Dreamland sauce the other night and found this recipe. Good job Dreamgoddess!! And yes fresh white bread is a must. Just need the No Farting sign above my door lolz.
