Ingredients

¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon dill pickles (finely chopped) or dill relish
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 teaspoon hot sauce (add more to taste)
pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon, pickles, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, garlic powder, hot sauce, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Taste and adjust. For more heat, add extra hot sauce. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes if you have time.

Notes

The flavors come together as it chills, so give it 15 to 30 minutes in the fridge if you can.
For a tangier sauce, add a splash of pickle juice.
Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Start with 2 teaspoons of hot sauce and add more gradually. It's easy to add heat, harder to take it away.
