A rich and flavorful butter-based barbecue sauce perfect for enhancing your grilled dishes.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the sauce.
Add the chopped onion to the melted butter and sauté until softened and translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning too much.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together.
Keep the heat low to prevent the sauce from burning.
Serve the sauce warm or let it cool and store it for later use.
This sauce tastes even better the next day after the flavors have developed.
