Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Grab a mixing bowl that’s slightly bigger than your problems. Combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and honey into the bowl. Stir it up like you’re creating magic!
- Next, sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Don’t be stingy—season it right!
- Whisk everything together until it’s smoother than your best pickup line. Taste it! Does it need a little extra sweetness? A dash of vinegar? Make it your own!
- Once you’ve achieved bliss in a bowl, transfer your masterpiece into a jar with a lid. Now, let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors can mingle like they’re at a barbecue block party.
- When it’s time to grill, apply this sauce like it’s going out of style. Brush it on your meat, let it caramelize, and watch the magic happen. Just try not to lick the brush afterwards (we won’t tell, though).
