Ingredients You’ll Need
Before you get started, make sure you gather all the ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions to Get It Just Right
Now that you have your ingredients ready, follow these steps to make that bomb sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup and apple cider vinegar. Stir them together until well mixed.
- Add in the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix everything together until it’s a smooth blend.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes. This lets all those flavors meld together beautifully.
- Remember to stir occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom.
- After 20 minutes, taste your sauce and season it with salt and pepper as needed. If you like it a little sweeter, feel free to add a touch more brown sugar.
- Once done, let the sauce cool before slathering it on your ribs, or store it in a jar for later use. This sauce can keep in the fridge for about a week.
Your family and friends won’t be able to get enough of those tender, smoky ribs drenched in this sweet and tangy sauce. Perfect for summer cookouts, football parties, or just because you feel like treating yourself. Enjoy!
