Ingredients for Mississippi Comeback Sauce
-
- Mayonnaise: Acts as a creamy base for the sauce.
- Chili Sauce: I used Heinz chili sauce, but feel free to use your favorite brand! Sriracha will also work as a substitute.
- Ketchup: Adds flavor and a touch of sweetness.
- Honey: I love adding honey because it balances the flavors perfectly.
- Hot Sauce: I usually use either Tabasco or Frank’s.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Adds so much delicious flavor!
- Seasonings: I added onion powder and garlic powder, but you can also add things like smoked paprika or a pinch of chili powder if you want it to be spicier.
- Kosher Salt: Add to taste. I prefer using kosher salt over table salt because it doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste.
