What is campfire sauce? If you’ve ever been to Red Robin, you know. This sauce is creamy, smoky, with just the right amount of tang and heat. It’s like BBQ sauce and mayo had a baby, and that baby grew up to be the life of the party.
3 Ingredients Needed
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise – We recommend Kraft Real Mayo for the best taste.
- ½ cup Hickory Bourbon flavored barbecue sauce – We used STUBB’S brand
- ⅛ teaspoon chili powder.
Optional items to serve with this sauce:
- Breaded chicken tenders: A crispy and tasty dipping option.
- Onion rings: Perfectly cooked, these add a crunchy companion to the sauce.
- French fries: A classic choice that pairs wonderfully with the sauce.
How to Make It
- Stir it up: Throw everything in a bowl and mix until smooth.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can get cozy.
- Dip, dunk, slather, repeat.
Leftover sauce?
Try it on grilled corn, as a burger spread, or even as a salad dressing base with a splash of vinegar. It’s that good.
This sauce keeps well for a week in the fridge — but good luck making it last that long.
