How to Make Barbecue

  1. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or skillet, combine 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 pound of ground beef, 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional).
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the ground beef is browned and the onion is tender (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot over your favorite barbecue accompaniments such as buns, fries, or coleslaw.
