Ingredients

  • cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 4 tsp cane sugar
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together sugar and spices.
  • Add in mayo, ketchup, and water to combine. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  • Pour sauce into a lidded jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
  • Prepared sauce will keep, refrigerated, for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Use your favorite brand of mayo--We use Hellmann's Vegan mayo in all of our dishes. 
  • For extra kick, add 1/8 tsp cayenne or 1/4 tsp hot sauce. We do not usually add these because we like our sauce sweeter, but they do lend a good flavor.
  • Increase water to 3 tbsp if you prefer a thinner consistency.
