Sauces and Condiments Recipe – Root Beer BBQ Sauce

This BBQ sauce can be used a variety of ways- we've even put it on potatoes at my house! It's sweet, tangy, and has a small kick to it. The root beer can also be substituted with Dr Pepper® or Coca Cola®.

Ingredients

• 2 cups root beer
• 2 cups ketchup
• ½ cup no-pulp orange juice
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup molasses
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon hot paprika
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Cooking Directions

1. Stir together the root beer, ketchup, orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, and molasses in a saucepan. Season with ginger, paprika, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator up to a week.
