  • 1 tablespoon of hot sauce such as Tabasco
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for extra spiciness
  • 1 tablespoon of molasses for a deeper sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon of honey for a lighter sweetness

Instructions
 

Step 1: Combine the Vinegar and Ketchup

  • In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 cup of ketchup.
  • Whisk the mixture together until well combined.

Step 2: Add the Brown Sugar and Worcestershire Sauce

  • Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce to the saucepan.
  • Whisk the mixture again to fully incorporate the ingredients.

Step 3: Add the Hot Sauce and Spices

  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can also add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper at this point.
  • Continue whisking until all the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4: Bring to a Boil and Simmer

  • Place the saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • The sauce should thicken slightly during the simmering process.

Step 5: Adjust the Sweetness and Thickness

  • After simmering, taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
  • If you prefer a deeper sweetness, you can add 1 tablespoon of molasses. For a lighter sweetness, you can add 1 tablespoon of honey.
  • If the sauce is too thick for your preference, you can add a little water or vinegar to thin it out
