Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine Coca-Cola, ketchup, and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Add apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to gently simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove it from the heat. Let it cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or airtight container for storage.
Store the BBQ sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Use it as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce for your favorite dishes.
