How to Make Sweet And Easy Bbq Sauce
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add 4 slices of bacon, chopped, and cook until the fat begins to render and the bacon is crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pan.
- Cook and stir until the bacon and onions are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the bacon and onions to cool slightly while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together: 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
- Add the cooled bacon and onion mixture to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it simmers and slightly thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
