BBQ Sauce

A slammin’ recipe from my best friend and her mom.  Everyone loves the idea of “homemade” BBQ sauce, makes them raise an eyebrow or two.  Love this recipe.
Ingredients
1 Tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup of ketchup
1 cup of brown sugar (unpacked)
1 dash of garlic powder
1 dash of onion powder
1 dash of worcestershire sauce
1 dash of soy sauce (careful with this – too much and it really skews the flavor)
red chili flakes (to taste)
Directions
1.  Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan.  Add ketchup, brown sugar and rest of ingredients. 
2. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer.  Check taste.  Add more brown sugar or ketchup depending on the level of sweetness you want.  More sugar will increase the level of caramelization when used on the grill.
