Making Cookout sauce is very easy and and simple. You need to follow our simple steps and ensure you have all the ingredients mentioned here:

Ingredients for Cookout Sauce

Ingredients	Quantity
Ketchup	1 cup
Brown sugar	¼ cup
Apple cider vinegar	2 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce	1 tablespoon
Smoked paprika	1 teaspoon
Garlic powder	½ teaspoon
Salt and pepper to taste	–

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Saucepan

Step by Step Instructions

• Mix the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a pot or saucepan. Just pour them all in together.
• Once everything is in the pot, use a whisk (a tool for stirring) to blend them all. Keep whisking until you can’t see separate ingredients anymore.
• Put the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. This is so the mixture can get warm.
• Let the mixture cook at a gentle simmer. That means it’s bubbling a little bit but not boiling wildly. This helps the flavors come together. It should take about 5-7 minutes.
• As it simmers, the sauce will start to thicken. Keep an eye on it and stir it occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Taste the sauce and add some salt and pepper if it needs it. This step is all about making sure it tastes just right to you.
• Once it’s done cooking, please remove it from the heat and let it cool down before you use it. This will allow it to thicken up a bit more as it cools.

My Tips and Recommendations

Change the sweetness and tartness however you would prefer by tweaking how much earthy-colored sugar and vinegar you use.
Add a hint of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicier kick.
Allow the sauce to stew to the point of permitting the flavors to merge for the best taste.
