Mom's BBQ Sauce

Another classic from the 50's and 60's when my darling mother was the queen of the neighborhood BBQs.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 10-12

Ingredients

• 40  ounces ketchup (HEINZ)
• 3⁄4 cup white vinegar (recipe says 1/3 bottle)
• 3⁄4 cup  vegetable oil
• 1⁄2 cup  A.1. Original Sauce
• 1⁄2 cup Worcestershire sauce
•  Tabasco sauce (7 shakes)
• 3  bay leaves (optional)
• 1  teaspoon oregano
• 1⁄4 cup liquid smoke
• 3  tablespoons brown sugar
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1  teaspoon onion powder

Directions

1. Combine all in saucepan. Simmer on LOW for 30 minutes.
2. Refrigerate at least 3 hours (or overnight) before using.
3. Add to meats on grill JUST before they're done. (We all know that the sugars in tomato-based sauces burn like a son-of-a-gun very easily.) Excellent on chicken, burgers, you name it.
