Equipment

  • Medium bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 drop of Tabasco or Sriracha
  • 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp creamy mayonnaise
  • 2 dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 generous dash of A1 Steak Sauce
  • 1 tsp dehydrated onion flakes or 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • First thing’s first, lay out all your ingredients. It’s always easier to have everything within reach.

Step 2: Combine Your Base Components

  • In a medium bowl, add the creamy mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, and Dijon mustard. These three ingredients serve as the foundation of your secret sauce.

Step 3: Mix in the Flavors

  • Next, sprinkle in your garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion flakes. Whisk everything together until well mixed. You want a uniform blend.

Step 4: Add the Zing

  • Introduce the Worcestershire sauce and A1 steak sauce. These will accentuate the sauce, making it exciting. Remember, a little goes a long way.

Step 5: Incorporate the Heat

  • Drop in that Tabasco or Sriracha. This is where you can adjust according to your heat preference. Stir again.

Step 6: Adjust and Serve

  • Finally, taste your creation. Need more tang? Add a touch more vinegar. Too spicy? Balance it with an extra scoop of mayo.
  • Done! You now have a fantastic replica of Jack in the Box secret sauce to enjoy.

Notes

Here are some valuable tips to make the most of your secret sauce experience:
  • Taste as You Go: Always taste the sauce after mixing in new ingredients. This way, you can adjust flavors to your liking.
  • Chill Before Serving: Allow the sauce to sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Cold sauces are typically more enjoyable.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh spices or quality mayonnaise can elevate your sauce’s taste significantly. Don’t skimp!
  • Batch Preparation: Make a double batch. Store it in the fridge for a quick flavor boost to any dish throughout the week.
  • Experiment: Don’t hesitate to dabble with additional spices or alternative ingredients. Make it your own!
