Some one gave me this recipe for a Kansas City Style BBQ sauce. It is very tasty on beef. It can also be used on chicken or pork.

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/4 ounce package of chili seasoning
2 tsp dry mustard ( I like the English Coleman dry mustard)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground mace
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup water
1 to 3 tsp liquid smoke ( this is optional)
1 - 32 ounce bottle of ketchup

Combine the brown sugar, chili seasoning, cayenne, mustard, ginger, allspice, black pepper, and mace.
Add the vinegar, molasses, water and liquid smoke ( optional). Stir until all the dry ingredients are disolved.

Add the ketchup and mix thoroughly.

Over high heat bring the mixture to a boil. Stir constantly.
Reduce the heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.
It can be refrigerated for about 1 week.
