Place the brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a medium saucepan, and whisk to combine.
1 ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 ¼ cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Place the pan over medium-low heat, stir occasionally until it comes to a simmer.
Take off the heat and let it cool.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Let the bbq sauce sit for at least 4 hours in the fridge to let the flavors meld together. Letting it sit overnight is best.

The serving size is calculated at 2 tablespoons.

You can easily double to halve this recipe to your liking.
If you can’t find smoked paprika you can use regular.
This can be served on a variety of things, so use it for grilling, topping, or dunking.
This can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
