Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste

Now that we have our ingredients lined up like a championship team, let’s talk about how to bring them together in a beautiful dance of flavor.

Instructions

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir the mixture until it’s well combined – it should be looking pretty slick!
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the pan. Mix again until everything is blended together like a happy family reunion.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it bubble away for about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally and let those flavors swirl together in an aromatic tango.
Once your sauce has thickened, take it off the heat and let it cool. Don’t be too hasty; we’re aiming for the perfect consistency here!
Transfer the sauce into a jar, seal it up, and it’s ready to rock and roll. Feel free to store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. But let’s be honest, it probably won’t last that long!

So there you have it! Your very own homemade barbecue sauce that is sure to become a star at your next cookout. Grab those ribs, burgers, or even veggies and get ready to slather on the goodness. Happy grilling!
