Original Memphis Barbeque Sauce Recipe

This is one of the most traditional Memphis barbeque sauce recipes you'll come across. Serve this rich, flavorful sauce on the side with beef, pork, and especially ribs. Then sit back and watch the drool fly.

If you don't like any chunks of onion and garlic in your bbq sauce, you'll want to pop this in the blender after it's cooled. Though it's great just as is.

Ingredients:
2 C. ketchup
2 C. chopped onion
1 C. red wine vinegar
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 C. plain yellow mustard
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. liquid smoke

Instructions: Combine onion, vinegar, garlic, mustard, sugar, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and liquid smoke in a medium sauce pan.

Add ketchup, and bring to a simmer. Simmer over low heat 15-20 minutes. Cool and blend if desired.
