As we enter peak outdoor cooking season, it’s time to fire up the gas grill or wood smoker.

Pro chef and pit expert Rodney Scott, arguably the face of Southern barbecue, is already two steps ahead with his Target Good & Gather collab that delivers Southern flavors right to your cookout.

Scott shares that the collection is “full of flavor, Southern tradition, and a whole lot of heart.” Starting at just $3, the Target-exclusive line includes a Carolina-style sweet barbecue sauce, a bright sweet heat relish, a trio of seasoning blends, and more. “Whether you're firing up the grill with sweet barbecue sauce on ribs or winding down with baked beans and cornbread after a hot day, there’s something here for everyone,” Scott says.

Carolina-Style Tangy Pepper Barbecue Sauce  

Great as a marinade or a dipping condiment, this barbecue sauce from the collection is spicy and tangy. The medium-level heat brings just the right kick to glazed ribs or grilled chicken. 

Carolina-Style Sweet Barbecue Sauce  

For a more mellow flavor profile, you’ll be able to grab this Carolina-style sweet sauce that has notes of apple cider vinegar and tomato paste. The addition of brown sugar balances out the brightness perfectly. 

Smooth & Tangy White Sauce  

Burnt ends or grilled salmon can be finished with this buttermilk-based sauce that’s smooth yet zesty, thanks to the lemon juice and vinegar. It also comes in a clever upside-down bottle to dispense easily onto whatever you’ve grilled for dinner.

Tangy Burger Sauce  

Let’s be honest: Half the fun of making burgers is slathering them with sauce. This exclusive burger sauce has vinegar, tomato paste, spices, mustard, and pickles. It’s a versatile sauce that would also be great to use on club sandwiches or fish tacos.

Sweet Heat Relish  

What’s a cookout without a few (or a lot of) hot dogs? Scott puts his own spin on traditional relish with the addition of chopped bell peppers. Whether or not you add condiments to your hot dogs (we won’t judge), this relish is tangy and sweet in just the right ways, thanks to the sugar, vinegar, and mustard seeds.

Seasoning Blends Trio

If you’re one to scratch your head when it comes to mixing dry rubs for a pork shoulder roast, take inspiration from an expert like Scott. His seasoning trio has a spicy, lemony, and sweet blend for every smoking or roasting occasion. Ranging from mild to medium heat, these seasoning jars have something for everyone.

Honey Cornbread and Muffin Mix  

When you’re juggling the main dish with sides this summer, feel free to cut some corners without sacrificing flavor by using Scott’s honey cornbread and muffin mix. The box makes 15 servings and comes together quickly with the addition of butter, milk, eggs, and honey. All you have to do is whisk it together and pop it in the oven.

Sweet & Salty Barbecue Trail Mix  

Stave off your hungry guests with Scott’s sweet and salty barbecue trail mix. It has peanuts, corn nuts, bread chips, and cashews, tossed with a tangy barbecue seasoning and chili bits to add a kick. Serve the trail mix up in some ramekins and you’ll buy yourself at least another half hour or so.

Hot Honey Fried Pork Rinds  

Some might argue that a cookout isn’t complete without the presence of fried pork rinds. Scott certainly thinks so, with this exclusive hot honey fried pork rind snack that’s part of the Target Good & Gather Collabs collection. It’s crunchy and smokey, with just a hint of spicy sweetness from the hot honey.

Barbecue Macaroni & Cheese  

Being the designated macaroni and cheese maker for a cookout isn’t for everyone. If you’ve been tasked with this endeavor, Scott has your back. His barbecue mac and cheese has a creamy sauce and features elbow pasta (a much-beloved mac and cheese shape).

Brown Sugar Baked Beans  

Speaking of iconic sides, a barbecue plate isn’t complete without baked beans. Scott’s baked beans come out of the microwave ready to eat in just 60 seconds. Sweet and savory, the beans are flavored with brown sugar and will make a welcome addition to any summer get-together.

Black Tea & Lemonade 

With the height of summer soon upon us, we can’t skip past the drinks that will keep us refreshed as we’re hunched over a fire pit or grill. Scott’s black tea and lemonade mix comes in a gallon-sized jug, so you can stock up for guests, or just for yourself.
