Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Airtight container for storage
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup hot sauce adjust according to your heat preference
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for an extra kick
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and ketchup until smooth.
- Spice It Up: Add the hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. If you’re sensitive to heat, start with less hot sauce and adjust as needed.
- Whisk to Perfection: Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or more hot sauce, depending on your preference.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to blend together beautifully.
Notes
- Start Small: You can always add more heat, but it’s hard to take it away. Start with a smaller amount of hot sauce and cayenne, then adjust to taste.
- Balance with Sweetness: If you find the sauce too hot, a small amount of honey can help balance the heat without detracting from the flavor.
