Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Place equal parts ketchup and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Stir together until well blended.
    1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup ketchup
  • Sprinkle enough black pepper on top to cover it. Stir that in.
    2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • Sprinkle black pepper to cover once more and stir until well blended.
  • Enjoy with fries, chicken tenders, etc.

Notes

Despite all the black pepper, this sauce isn't spicy.
For heat, stir in 2 tablespoons of hot sauce per 1/2 cup each of mayo and ketchup.
For a flavor closer to restaurant-style Mississippi comeback sauce, add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 6 days.
