How to Make Grandma Loretta's Bbq Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the liquid smoke. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Consider adding cayenne pepper, black pepper, mustard powder, or chili powder for extra kick!
  5. Transfer the BBQ sauce to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop (though it's delicious immediately!).
