Arby's® Sauce

Although the beef sandwiches from Arby's would
be very hard to duplicate since they are made
from specially processed beef hunks, thinly sliced,
this fast food chain's barbecue sauce can be cloned
easily. Now you can whip up this slightly tangy
sauce to put on your own homemade sandwich creations,
even barbecued ribs or chicken.

1 cup ketchup [287 g]
2 teaspoons water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce

1. Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook
 over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins
 to boil, 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Remove the sauce from the heat. Cover and allow to cool.
3. Pour into a covered container for storage in your refrigerator.
 Keeps for a month or two.

Makes 1 cup.
