Step 1
In a bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, chopped onion, teriyaki sauce, hot sauce, and liquid smoke until everything is well combined. Once it’s all mixed, pour the sauce into a jar or container with a lid. Pop it in the fridge and let it sit for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you can, so the flavors have time to come together. Give it a good stir before using, and you’re ready to enjoy!
