Mom’s Dinner Homemade BBQ Sauce is a super simple recipe. It begins with melted butter with sauteed onions and minced garlic. Ketchup is added for its characteristic tang and glossy texture. A balanced mixture of brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and spices brings heat and depth to the sauce. It is a thick, delicious condiment that can elevate any grilled dish with its unique blend of flavors.

My family loves bbq sauce, but I hate buying most brands since they’re full of so much junk. This recipe was easy, tasty and just as good as bottled bbq sauce, with no junk!
