Come Back Sauce

I posted this recipe for Comeback Sauce back in 2009 but decided to post it again with updated (better) photos since I whipped up a batch this past weekend to go with our Ranch Fried Chicken Tenders.

Comeback sauce has grown in popularity immensely in the last few years. Nowadays just about every restaurant that serves fried foods have a version of it and sometimes they tweak the recipe a little here and there to add a little difference to the flavor but they are all still pretty much interchangeable – and wonderful for dipping fries, chicken tenders, or whatever else happens to be on your plate.

The recipe I use is really basic and very simple to make, using only three ingredients. The best part is that you can make as little as you want or as much as you want, from two tablespoons to two gallons. So there is no reason not to stir together some just for yourself if you have the inclination. Better still, it is made almost instantly, requiring only enough time for you to stir it.

You only need three ingredients: Mayonnaise, Ketchup, and Black Pepper

• To begin with, place equal parts of ketchup and mayonnaise in a bowl. For these photos I am using 1/2 cup of each. You can use as little as a teaspoon if you like or as much as a gallon. It’s all the same.
• Stir those together really well until it’s blended. This will just take a minute.
• Now sprinkle enough black pepper on top to cover it. Stir that in.
• Cover the top with black pepper once more and stir again until it’s all stirred in.

Congratulations, you have just made Come Back Sauce!
