This is a tomato-based BBQ sauce that may be more familiar. I think it’s in the Kansas City style.

Source: Based on “Sweet and Mild Barbecue Sauce” from Paul Kirk’s Championship Barbecue book. But I made some changes along the way.

Ingredients:

Ingredients	More
2 1/2 cups ketchup	1/2 tsp paprika
3/8 cup brown sugar	1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder
1 cup apple cider vinegar	1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce	Tools:
1/4 cup olive oil	Saucepan
1 - 1 1/2 tsp salt	Spoon or whisk
1 tsp black pepper	Jars
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Preparation:

1. Put the ingredients into the saucepan on low/medium heat.
2. Mix it up and bring to a simmer.
3. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Variations:

• I’ve only made this once, still working on variations.

Notes:

• I may tinker with this recipe. Perhaps less ketchup and some other thickener. Probably more Worcestershire sauce. The goal would be to get a consistency that is neither watery like the vinegar sauce, but not a paste like Sweet Baby Ray’s, while also making it a bit less basic tomato/ketchup-tasting. Maybe some Gaur Gum would help thicken with less ketchup? Or more Worchestershire sauce, or add some vinegar?
