• 1 medium onion, minced
  
• 3 Tbsp (unsalted) butter
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
  
• 1 cup tomato sauce
  
• 1 cup catsup
  
• 1/2 to 1 cup brown sugar
  
• 1 Tbsp paprika
  
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
  
• 1-1/2 tsp dry mustard

Instructions



1. Over medium heat, saute the onion and green pepper in butter, adding the garlic when the onion starts to turn translucent. Reduce heat setting to low and stir the tomato sauce, catsup and sugar together until the sugar dissolves.
   
   
2. Next, add all remaining ingredients; over medium-high heat, mix until smooth, using a wire whisk. Boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat, then cover. Simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
   
   
3. Brush barbecue sauce over ribs, chicken, or even salmon.
