How to Make Dinosaur Bbq Mutha Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 green bell pepper, chopped; and 1 jalapeño pepper, minced, to the hot oil. Stir to coat.
  3. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the onions are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently.
  7. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in an additional 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke. Allow the sauce to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, pour the sauce into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
