How to Make Barbecue
- 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).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the ground beef is browned and the onion is tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot over your favorite barbecue accompaniments such as buns, fries, or coleslaw.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
