1In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, dark brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool.
Transfer the BBQ sauce to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
