Pocket-Sized BBQ Sauces

Hot Pockets' First-Ever BBQ Sauce Marks the Return of BBQ Recipe Beef

— August 8, 2024 — Marketing
To mark the triumphant return of its BBQ Recipe Beef variety, Hot Pockets dropped a limited-edition pocket-sized BBQ Sauce, marking the first time it has ever released a condiment to pair with its handheld products. The compact condiment is sweet, smoky and tangy, just like the sauce used in the BBQ Recipe Beef, and it's ready to be used on a variety of barbecue favorites like grilled chicken, Korean BBQ galbi and more.

Hot Pockets fans and condiment lovers can only get their hands on this exclusive release by entering the brand's online giveaway for a chance to claim a complimentary pocket-size jar of sauce on a first-come, first-serve basis, while supplies last. For those who miss out, Hot Pockets BBQ Recipe Beef is available at Walmart.
