Ingredients

  • 120 g (1/2 cup) full fat mayonnaise
  • 80 ml (1/3 cup) tomato ketchup
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¾ tsp freshly ground, coarse black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Creole seasoning (sub for Old Bay seasoning, or Cajun seasoning - see notes)
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Mix together the ingredients, cover then refrigerate for 24 hours (this will allow the flavours to fully develop).
    120 g (1/2 cup) full fat mayonnaise, 80 ml (1/3 cup) tomato ketchup, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 3/4 tsp freshly ground, coarse black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Creole seasoning , 1/4 tsp salt
  • Note: you can serve immediately after mixing, but the flavour tastes better after letting it rest (I got my whole family in on taste testing this).

Notes

What is Creole seasoning?

Creole seasoning is a spicy-savoury seasoning usually with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, pepper and oregano and/or thyme. It's a little spicy (there's a bit of spice/heat in Cane's sauce) and is quite red - which adds to the reddish-pink hue of Cane's sauce.
  • You can sub for Cajun seasoning - which is a little spicier and less herbal. You can barely tell the difference in this sauce.
  • Or sub for Old Bay - which is is a little milder and has celery salt and mustard in there (still adds a nice flavour)

Make it lite

  • Sub the full-fat mayo for light mayo (I use Hellman's light) and the ketchup for 50% less sugar ketchup and you reduce the calories from approx. 66 cals per tablespoon to approx. 28 calories per tablespoon
