Barbecue Sauce

I've often told people that this is an old family Barbecue Sauce recipe, but the truth is my mom got it from a culinary friend sometime in the 1980's. -Ryan

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups ketchup
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup Worchestershire Sauce
1 dash liquid smoke
1 1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. chili powder
1 T salt
1/2 tsp. onion salt

Directions:
Mix everything up in a big bowl and let flavors blend for a few hours or over night before serving.

Our Personal Touches:
Usually when I make this stuff I go to Costco and get the 2-pack of big ketchup bottles. One bottle is about 5 cups so I just use it all and double everything else in the recipe. I put the sauce back in the empty bottle to keep in the fridge.

I also normally make the following substitutions:
Garlic Salt instead of table salt
Onion Powder instead of onion salt
In the past I've also added honey to make it sweeter.

Uses:
1. Use "little smokies" or slice up Keilbasa sausage in a crock-pot, cover in barbecue sauce, heat and serve.
2. Soften a brick of cream cheese, cover in barbecue sauce, server with crackers.
3. Actually grill something, coat with barbecue sauce just before removing from grill.
