– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help all the flavors meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

5. Once the Topeka BBQ Sauce reaches your desired consistency and flavor, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to a clean glass jar or airtight container.
6. Store the BBQ sauce in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can use it immediately on grilled meats or allow it to sit for a day to let the flavors intensify.
7. Enjoy your homemade Topeka BBQ Sauce on grilled chicken, ribs, pulled pork, or even grilled vegetables. It also makes a fantastic dipping sauce for sweet potato fries or onion rings.
