Basic BBQ Sauce
Basic BBQ Sauce
Easy to make sauce great for BBQs or using in other recipes that call for BBQ sauce. The yield from this recipe is about 2 cups. I made this on 14 Dec 2016, recipe modified slightly, my report below.
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1½ cups ketchup
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon Worcherstershire sauce
- 2½ tablespoons dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons black pepper
- 2-4 dashes hot pepper sauce
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl until completely mixed and smooth. This is the ingredients before I added the water.
- I was making BBQ Beans & Weenies, this photo just shows the sauce after it was cooked and refrigerated when I added it to the beans recipes.
- Pour into a pot and bring to a boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Pour into a sealable container and refrigerate overnight before use.
Notes
If using as a sauce say in a bean recipe, the sugar amount is spot on, if using for grilled anything, feel free to increase the sugar a bit. Keep in mind the sugar is what caramelizes and makes that gooey goodness on say BBQ Chicken. This is my Go-to Recipe now.

I made this on 14 Dec 2016, I doubled it as well. I mixed it up and cooked it with the boil for 1 minute, brought in my wife for a taste test. Looking at a import bottle that I had in the fridge, the only item not covered by the Thai label was Apple Cider Vinegar. I added that, and my wife said that is perfect! I let it cool, refrigerated overnight and used in beans the next day. Spot on and is my Go-to recipe now.
