That Classic Kansas City BBQ Sauce sounds delicious, and it’s a versatile addition to various grilled meats. Here’s a quick set of instructions for preparing this sauce:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
2. Stir the mixture well to combine and bring it to a gentle simmer.
3. Add the smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder to the sauce. Stir again to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Allow the sauce to simmer over low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together, and the sauce will thicken slightly.
5. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Add salt and pepper as needed.
6. Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.

Storage Instructions:

• Allow the BBQ sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
• Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• For longer storage, you can freeze the sauce in freezer-safe containers for up to 2-3 months.
• Before using refrigerated or frozen sauce, let it come to room temperature or gently reheat it on the stove, stirring occasionally.
