Poor Woman's BBQ Sauce

    * 2 tablespoons oil
    * 1 onion, chopped
    * 8oz can tomato sauce
    * 1/2 cup water
    * 1/4 cup lemon juice
    * 1/4 cup brown sugar
    * 1/4 cup Worcestershire
    * 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
    * Dash of salt
    * Dash of pepper
    * Dash of liquid smoke (optional)


Get out a 2 quart sauce pan and heat up the oil or bacon grease in it. Add the chopped onion, and sauté it until the onion is translucent and smells really good. Add all of the other ingredients. If you have liquid smoke around, it makes the sauce taste very good, but if you don't have any, don't worry, it is still quite delicious. Stir everything up and let the mixture simmer over medium low heat for about 15 minutes. The mixture will thicken up some, but it won't be as thick as commercial barbecue sauce. Makes about 3 cups.
