What Ingredients Do I Need for Homemade BBQ Sauce?

This sauce is made with just six ingredients you likely have on hand: onion, garlic, ketchup, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. You’ll blend them together until smooth, then taste and season with salt and pepper. No onion or garlic? No problem. Sub in onion and garlic powders.

If you’re looking to take things up a notch, feel free to add some flavor boosters. Liquid smoke, smoked paprika, mustard powder, molasses, cayenne pepper, or garam masala would all be delicious.
