Flavor Boosters

  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Gather All Ingredients: Measure out all ingredients and have them ready in bowls or spoons to ensure smooth and even mixing.
  2. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and barbecue sauce until smooth and well blended to create the creamy, tangy foundation.
  3. Add Flavor Boosters: Mix in the horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all spices evenly.
  4. Season to Taste: Add black pepper and taste the sauce. Adjust the seasoning by adding more horseradish, smoked paprika, or a pinch of salt if desired to perfect the balance.
  5. Chill and Set: Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use a quality barbecue sauce to achieve the best smoky flavor.
  • Allowing the sauce to rest in the refrigerator improves flavor integration and thickens the texture.
  • Adjust the amounts of smoked paprika and horseradish to balance the smoky and spicy notes according to your taste.
  • Start with small amounts of horseradish and black pepper, then increase if you prefer more heat.
  • This sauce stores well and can be doubled to keep extras on hand.
