When I was a child, my dad used to make this recipe every summer. To acquire a varied level of heat, change the type of pepper you use. Mine should be mild, in my opinion. This barbecue sauce tastes great on almost anything, including chicken, steak, and french fries! Sauce needs to be kept cold.

This turned out pretty good. A little heavy on the Worcestershire but still good. I liked the addition of coffee and chili powder.
