Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and Creole seasoning until thoroughly blended.
- Refrigerate for flavor development: Transfer the sauce into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen, transforming from a simple mayo-ketchup mix into a complex, creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce.
Notes
- Allowing the sauce to rest overnight in the fridge is essential to achieve the authentic Raising Cane’s flavor, as the resting time enhances the layers of taste.
- Always store the prepared sauce in the refrigerator when not in use to maintain freshness and flavor.
- While you can use any Creole seasoning you prefer, Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning is highly recommended for the most authentic taste and is widely available.
