Campfire Sauce, a tantalizing blend of mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, garlic, and spices, creates a smoky and savory symphony that elevates dishes, from burgers to fries, with nostalgic flair.
Gather all the ingredients, measuring them accurately for the best flavor balance.
Whisk together 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce. Ensure a smooth and consistent blend.
Incorporate the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce into the mayonnaise-barbecue mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Adjust the spiciness to your liking. Stir thoroughly to infuse the sauce with the smoky essence.
Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper according to your preference. If you desire a hint of sweetness, drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of honey and mix until well combined.
Place the Campfire Sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a more cohesive and delightful sauce.
Once chilled, your Campfire Sauce is ready to accompany a variety of dishes. Use it as a dipping sauce for fries, a spread for burgers, or a flavorful topping for grilled meats.
