Tony Roma's Original Barbecue Sauce Recipe

This is my favorite barbecue sauce. I'm originally from Chicago and Tony Roma's is a chain that started in Chicago and has now expanded. When I moved away from home I was able to find this barbecue sauce bottled in stores and it's the only one I love. I now live in Ohio and there's no Tony Roma's to be found. Found this...haven't tried it yet, but am posting it here for safekeeping until I can try it.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 6 servinces

Ingredients

• 1  cup ketchup
• 1  cup vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup dark corn syrup
• 2  teaspoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Directions

1. Combine all of the ingredients for the barbeque sauce in a saucepan over high heat. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth.
2. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered.
3. In 30-45 minutes, when the mixture thickens, remove it from the heat. If you want a thicker sauce, heat it longer. If you make the sauce too thick, thin it with vinegar.
