Ingredients

½ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Tabasco

Instructions

In a small to medium sized mixing bowl, add all ingredients.
Stir to combine.
Taste and if you feel the sauce needs something, add it.
You can use this sauce right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks.

Notes

You can easily increase or decrease the amount of horseradish in this recipe. I find this is one ingredient that tends to elicit a strong reaction from people.

I like the vinegar taste of Tabasco for this recipe, but if you want to swap it for a different hot sauce like Frank’s RedHot or Cholula, you can.

If you want to add a little sweetness to this, you can sprinkle in a big pinch of granulated white sugar or a small drizzle of honey.
