Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Saucepan
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon natural smoke flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dehydrated garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- A few dashes of hot pepper sauce adjust to taste
Instructions
- Take a small saucepan and add the following ingredients: ketchup, brown sugar, prepared mustard, natural smoke flavor, salt, dehydrated garlic, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce. Stir everything together well so the ingredients are mixed evenly.
- Put the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it starts to simmer gently. Let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then. This helps the flavors blend and the sauce to thicken a bit.
- Taste the sauce. If you want it spicier, add more hot pepper sauce. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little extra sugar.
- When you’re happy with the flavor, take the saucepan off the heat and let the sauce cool down a bit. You can use the sauce right away or store it in the refrigerator for later.
Notes
Recipe Notes: This Ole West BBQ Sauce Recipe is thick, smoky, and slightly sweet with a tangy kick from the mustard and hot sauce. It works great as a dipping sauce or glaze on grilled chicken, pork ribs, beef brisket, burgers, or even fries.
Feel free to adjust the heat level by varying the amount of hot pepper sauce. The natural smoke flavor adds authentic smoky depth without needing a smoker.
