I-94 BBQ Sauce - Medium Heat

I-94 BBQ Sauce - Wisconsin's Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce

I-94 BBQ Sauce is named after Wisconsin's iconic Interstate 94—the highway that connects Milwaukee to Madison and brings people together at backyard BBQs across the state. Just like cruising down the highway on a summer day, this sauce delivers a smooth, sweet ride with just enough kick at the finish to keep things exciting.

What Makes I-94 Special

I-94 is our most versatile sauce—the one that appeals to traditionalists while still offering something special. It starts thick and sweet, coating your meat with a rich, tomato-based flavor profile that's familiar yet elevated. Then, right at the finish, you get a subtle kick of heat—not overwhelming, just enough to make you notice. It's like the friendly Wisconsin State Trooper waving you through—unexpected but welcome.

We achieve this balance through careful layering of spices and a touch of heat that builds gradually rather than hitting you all at once. The thickness comes from quality tomato paste and a reduction process that concentrates flavors naturally—no gums, no thickeners, no shortcuts. Just patient, traditional sauce-making that honors BBQ heritage while bringing Wisconsin pride to every bottle.

How to Use I-94 BBQ Sauce

Best Applications:

- Ribs: The classic choice—glaze during the last 30-45 minutes for a sticky, caramelized finish
- Beef Brisket: Brush on sliced brisket or use as a dipping sauce alongside burnt ends
- Pulled Pork: Mix into shredded pork or serve on the side for sandwiches
- Grilled Chicken: Perfect for drumsticks, thighs, or wings—the thickness prevents dripping
- Burgers: Use as a finishing sauce or spread on buns for sweet-spicy flavor
- Meatloaf: Mix into ground beef or brush on top during the last 20 minutes of baking
- Slow Cooker Recipes: Add to pot roasts, pulled pork, or BBQ meatballs
- Dipping Sauce: Excellent with chicken tenders, onion rings, or french fries
