This is the best barbecue sauce, and trust me I have experimented with hundreds of different combinations over the years, this is even better than any of the popular bottled sauces! ---plan ahead this sauce must be made one day in advance to allow the flavors to blend and intensify, don't even think about using it the same day it is made, this sauce will take on a whole different flavor when simmered for 1 hour and left overnight in the fridge--- the ingredients can easily be doubled but keep the garlic amount no more than 2 tablespoons, and for the best flavor use only Heinz ketchup and a good quality brand of yellow mustard, I use French's mustard it really will make a difference in the taste, please do not omit the liquid smoke --- yield is only estimated as the sauce will reduce after simmering for 1 hour or more ---*NOTE* for a smoother low fat sauce omit the oil, onion and fresh garlic, then in the saucepan mix all remaining ingredients together and add in 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder then simmer for 1 hour -----you will love this sauce!

2 1/2 cups (approx) (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (can use more)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
5 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (do not use the fine black pepper!)
1 pinch cayenne pepper (or adjust to taste)
2 cups ketchup
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/3 cup prepared french's yellow mustard
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons liquid smoke (for the very best flavor do not omit)

Directions

1
Heat oil over medium heat; add in onion and saute for about 3 minutes, then add in garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
2
Add in chili powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and black pepper; stir for 1 minute.
3
Add in all remaining ingredients; bring to a boil stirring with a wooden spoon to combine.
4
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered stirring occasionally for 1 hour over low heat (do not cover the pot or the texture and flavor will be affected, if you have a splatter screen then use it to cover the pot).
5
Cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or more before using.

Good stuff. I used red onions and hot garlic for a bit more none chili powder kick.

When I first made this last night I thought,oh no this is not gonna work out. The taste was much too strong. I went ahead and finished it and stuck it in the fridge. Cooked country style pork ribs in crock pot all night. Got bbq sauce out and tasted this morning and it was totally different! The taste had improved so much!!! Baked the ribs with the sauce and DH and I thought they were awesome!! This sauce is a keeper recipe!! Will make again!! DD(9) said it was better than any BBQ she had eaten before!!! Try this sauce, it is soooo good!

This sauce is one that I reviewed as part of the BBQ sauce contest: it is delicious .. even better than Diana's Gourmet Rib & Chicken Sauce! I used hickory flavoured liquid smoke & simmered for the full hour - it thickened very nicely. My hubby brushed the sauce on baby back ribs during the last 15 minutes on the BBQ ....... served extra sauce in little bowls for dipping ........ lots of napkins were required. Thanx Carol!
