Simple BBQ Sauce

Once a while I will use BBQ Sauce for marinating different types of meat for grilling, cooking and even baking.  However it is not used in my everyday cooking.  Thus, I do experience that the sauce expired before I finished making use of it.  I feel that it is a waste, so I decided to search online on 'How to make simple BBQ Sauce.'  This recipe which I adapted from 'The Spruce Eats' is a good and simple recipe, which makes use of simple ingredients that are readily available in my pantry.  Thanks and cheers to this great recipe.  Here's to share with those who are interested.

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tbsp. white vinegar

1/2 tbsp. chili powder (put less if you prefers less heat)
