Coca Cola is a fantastic secret ingredient. Sweet, flavorful, and an absolutely perfect base for BBQ sauce. Just be prepared to be "grilled" about the secret.
1 can (12 ounce size) cola, Coke or Pepsi
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
hot pepper sauce (Tabasco) to taste
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the sauce to a simmer and let cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the sauce thickens.
Let cool and use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to a week.
Medium Saucepan: For simmering the barbecue sauce ingredients together.
Stirring Spoon: For stirring the ingredients in the saucepan during the cooking process.
Measuring Cups and Spoons: For measuring ingredients such as ketchup, cider vinegar, chili powder, and salt.
Cutting Board and Knife: For chopping the onion before adding it to the saucepan with the other ingredients.
Storage Container: If not using the barbecue sauce immediately, a covered container is needed for storing the sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I have made this recipe for the last three years for our association BBQ with a few variations and I have had so many people ask where they could buy my sauce. What a wonderful base recipe. I couldn't have done it without you. This year we have had two bbqs, the first time I tripled the recipe and this that still wasn't enough, so this time I have quadrupled the recipe, sure hope that this will last the length of the bbq. Again, thanks for such a wonderful recipe. GN
