Ingredients

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Ketchup

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, add the brown sugar and ketchup. Cook on medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture has melted together.
  • Add any extra seasonings you would like at this time. Remove the sauce from the heat and serve or chill in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Keep the sauce stored in a mason jar or an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • Optional Add ins:
    • Apple cider vinegar. Add ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar to the mixture.
    • Worcestershire Sauce. This will give the sauce a more savory flavor, but it is a classic ingredient. Add 1 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.
    • Yellow mustard. For added spice and tangy, use ¼ cup of yellow mustard.
    • Hot sauce. For a spicy bbq sauce, add as much of your favorite hot sauce as your family likes for a kicked up sauce!
    • Soy sauce. Just like Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce or coconut amino will add a savory flavor to the sauce. Add 1 tablespoon.
    • Spices. Add a sprinkle of black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, or onion powder to the mixture based on your taste.
