Combine your preferred brand of sugar-free ketchup in a large pot with dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar substitute. Gently whisk the ingredients together and cover the pot with a lid. Heat the ingredients until they start to bubble.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to a low setting and whisk the ingredients together again. Stir in salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If you want the sauce to be sweeter, you can add drops of liquid stevia.
Step 3
Let the sauce cool entirely before bottling or jarring it. You can keep the sauce in glass mason jars or even Tupperware. Use Carolina BBQ sauce as a dipping condiment, for marinating meats, or for adding flavor to sauces and stews. One serving of sauce is about ¼ cup.
