This is a Cajun twist on a traditional red barbecue sauce.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large finely chopped yellow onion
4 finely chopped peeled garlic cloves
2 – 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke

DIRECTIONS:
Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When oil is about to sputter add the yellow onion and cook stirring with a wooden spoon until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add ketchup, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, light brown sugar, Tabasco and liquid smoke. Stir until well combined. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.

Slather this sauce on chops, ribs, chicken or brisket towards the end of the grilling.
