It needs way more vinegar. I used to make my own BBQ sauce all the time because I generally had the ingredients around the house and that tiny little amount of vinegar was no were near enough. I don't really have ratios because I'm a put it together until it tastes good kinda cook but I could tell at a glance this wasn't vinegary enough. It could also use more umami like worcester sauce or soy sauce to deepen the flavor.
I worked in a bbq restaurant in college that made our own sauces and they’re mostly just ketchup and brown sugar with varying seasonings, and we never cooked them😂 just mixed it for like 15 minutes in one o those big stand mixers
We make amazing bbq sauce in my family from scratch… and while the ketchup is super common, the author lost the plot somewhere in the middle haha. Generally we use ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion powder, peppers and spices, brown sugar, and a smidge of apple cider vinegar. It’s delicious and very easy.
Bbq sauce normally has this much ketchup but normally it has allot of seasonings including: pepper, paprika, cayenne, molasses, garlic powder, onion powder, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, and sometimes herbs. And usually apple cider or white vinegar. And mustard.
BBQ sauce is pretty much ketchup let’s be real
BBQ sauce is ketchup though. Just needs apple cider vinegar, some bourbon/whiskey,onion and garlic powder and smoked paprika
We use ketchup brown sugar and Sriracha
Honesty less ketchup and this would taste nice
it’s supposed to be ketchup but i know we all know that now
As a ketchup addict, id probably love this.. im not proud
You can use a jar of chili sauce & a jar of grape jam for better bbq sauce.
This is not a sauce that you can get lost in
Ketchup and brown sugar alone is amazing lol
Reduce ketchup, add molasses and some other spices to compliment whatever meat you want to add it to.
BBQ is ketchup

It needs way more vinegar.

This is what bbq is made of needs some liquid smoke or even washyoursister sauce
it needs spices! both hot and aromatic
Needs more of the other ingredients. I think double the vinegar, brown sugar and honey
Where's the heat?
My dad used to make BBQ sauce by adding homemade grape jelly to ketchup. It was good
Don’t you need molasses and liquid smoke? I use ketchup in mine but that’s just for a base and if I don’t have enough ketchup I use tomato paste

The funny thing is MOST barbecue sauces do start with a base of ketchup, and a lot of it.

You should have put it on nugs!!!
Is this some sort of alternate universe where sandra lee was obsessed with ketchup instead of alcohol?
The lack of seasonings should have been the first red flag 😂
You need to start by learning how to make the best so you can properly compair it 😅
