Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 tbsp distilled white vinegar
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp hot sauce (like Tabasco)
  • 3 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper (or to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients listed and mix them well. Add a small splash of water and mix.

  2. 2

    Place the saucepan over medium heat. When it reaches a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning at the bottom of the pan.

  3. 3

    Perform taste tests and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. If you want a spicier sauce, you may add more cayenne pepper or hot sauce. For a milder version, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce or leave them out altogether.

  4. 4

    Once you're satisfied with how the sauce tastes, turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Then, pour the sauce into a jar or airtight glass/plastic container and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse together.
