Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measuring tools, ensuring everything is clean and ready.
- In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar, whisking thoroughly to blend.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and mustard to the mixture, stirring continuously to incorporate evenly.
- Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, mixing well to distribute seasonings throughout the sauce.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to slightly thicken.
- Stir periodically during simmering to prevent sticking and ensure consistent flavor development.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature, which will further thicken its consistency.
- Transfer sauce to a clean glass jar or airtight container for storage.
- Refrigerate sauce, which will keep for up to 2 weeks when properly stored.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the most robust flavor profile.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure smooth, even blending.
- Simmer on low heat to prevent burning and allow flavors to develop fully.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as you cook - a pinch more salt or sugar can make all the difference.
- Let the sauce cool completely before storing to enhance its thickness and flavor melding.
- Store in a clean, airtight glass container to maintain freshness.
- For an extra flavor kick, consider adding a splash of bourbon or a dash of smoked paprika.
- The sauce tastes even better after 24 hours, so make it ahead of time when possible.
