Comments
This is another recipe from my mom and it’s a family favorite. I’ve modified it slightly because it’s hard to find HFCS-free ketchup. Apparently this is known as barbecue if you’re from the Midwest. (Note: Since first posting this HFCS-free ketchup has become super easy to find! Thanks Hunts! I still make this with tomato paste, though.)
