Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Mix the Base

  • Start by whisking together mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in your saucepan over low heat. This trio forms the base of your PDQ sauce and sets the stage for a flavor explosion.

Sweeten the Deal

  • Next, stir in the honey. Its natural sweetness balances the tanginess of the vinegar and mustard, adding a delightful depth to the sauce.

Add the Tang

  • Pour in the apple cider vinegar. This not only adds a tangy kick but also helps to thin out the sauce to the perfect consistency.

Spice It Up

  • Now, it’s time to add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. These spices transform the sauce from ordinary to extraordinary, infusing it with layers of flavor.

Whisk to Perfection

  • For as long as you whisk, the sauce will be smooth and all the ingredients will be well mixed. Make sure to keep the heat low to prevent any burning.

Taste and Adjust

  • Taste your PDQ sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. This is your moment to make the sauce truly your own.

Cool and Store

  • Cool the sauce by removing it from the heat. Once it’s cool, put it in a jar that won’t let air in and put it in the fridge. Your PDQ sauce is now ready to elevate any meal!
