Mr Criman's Best Darn BBQ Sauce

1/2 Cup margarine
1 lb light brown sugar
24 oz bottle Ketchup
8 oz Franks "Red Hot" Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
3/4 C white vinegar
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder

1- Melt Margarine in large pan on med heat. Don't scald
2- Melt Brown Sugar in pan, mixing with melted margarine.
3-Add ketchup. Mix thoroughly with spoon or paddle
4- Add Franks "Red Hot" Sauce. mix thoroughly
5- while sauce is melding together, pour vinegar into Ketchup container and shake vigorously to clean sides of container before adding to sauce. mix thoroughly
6- Add Garlic and onion powder and mix thoroughly
7- Cook over Med heat. If the sauce bubbles when not stirring--that seems to be the right temperature. Don't have it so hot that it boils even when stirring.
8- Sample taste. If it needs to be spicier, add more Franks, if too spicy, add more Vinegar.
9- Using funnel, pour concoction into old Ketchup bottle. There will be extra, make sure to have another container ready.

NOTE: When Sauce is cool, add with either Ranch or Mayo for a great tasting creamy salad dressing

Another Note: A simple bean recipe just calls for any can of beans drained, and mixed with the sauce.  When you make a bunch of sauce, it can be used in a variety of ways.
