I love making this simple sauce because it tastes so much better than anything you can buy at the store. It has the perfect balance of sweetness and smoke, so it is always a huge hit with kids and adults alike.

You should try to make this about half an hour before you plan to eat. Letting the flavors sit together in the fridge really makes a big difference in the final taste.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

6Instructions

1
Grab a small mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise and ketchup.
2
Stir in the mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until the sauce is completely smooth.
3
Taste the sauce and add a tiny pinch of salt or pepper if you think it needs it.
4
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap.
5
Place the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 20 to 30 minutes before you want to serve it.
6
Serve it in small bowls alongside hot fries or spread it on your favorite burger buns.

Tips

Store any leftover sauce in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to one week. If you like a bit more tang, you can stir in a teaspoon of pickle juice. It also works great as a dip for fresh vegetables or chicken tenders.
