Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups ketchup
½ cup water
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the ketchup, water, brown sugar, molasses, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin; stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. At this point, the sauce is ready to serve, but if you'd like to make it completely smooth, transfer it to a blender and blend until smooth.
