Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup mayonnaise

- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust for heat preference

Instructions
Start With The Wet Stuff:
- Grab a medium bowl. Pour in ketchup, mayo, apple cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, Dijon mustard, and a dash of Worcestershire.
Add The Dry Ingredients:
- Mix in brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and kosher salt.
Whisk It All Together:
- Stir or whisk until everything’s smooth and blended. You want the sugar to dissolve and the sauce to be nice and even.
Taste Test:
- Dip in a spoon and see how it tastes. Need more heat? Add cayenne. Want it tangier? A splash more vinegar. A little sweeter? More sugar.
Let It Chill (Optional):
- If you’ve got time, cover it and stick it in the fridge for half an hour. The flavors will come together even better.
Use It:
- Spoon it onto burgers, smear it on sandwiches, or serve it up as a dip for fries, onion rings, or anything grilled.
