Didn't even realize that our Billy Boy had this recipe on the site. Hubster is a burger and topping snob but because I knew he would love this I gave it a shot. He did Bill!! We also ended up mixing in horseradish which made a terrific cocktail sauce for both shrimp and our favorite Vermont cheddar cheese. Thanks honey pie!
This is a great start. If you are like me and like to experiment with healthier alternatives then this gives you a little push. I have been making my own Ketchup and Mustard sauces for years. I use base 'tomato sauce' and then add splenda for sweet garlic seasonings cider vinegar onion salt etc. as my tastes warrant. Same thing with Mustard just add the flavors you like cayenne garlic black pepper. The options are endless. I love a sweeter mustard so I have been putting a little splenda in with garlic and man is it good on veggies or on the wraps I make with turkey and coleslaw.
I tried this out last week and liked it so much I made it with a 24oz bottle of ketchup. I added quite a lot more garlic pwder and also some dried minced onion. I'm going to make up a smaller bottle for Husband with some spicy yellow mustard. Thanks!
Try to find a ketchup without the high fructose corn syrup. Hunt's has one. I don't think Heinz has caught up with reality yet. If you use the green Tabasco sauce it comes pretty close to the Heinz Hot and Spicy.
Awesome Tasty and Fun; you truly can take this recipe and run with it and make whatever kind of seasoned ketchup that you want - thanks!
This is very good! My bottle of ketchup (Heinz) was only 20 oz so I used 2 tsp cayenne 2 tsp onion powder 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1 1/2 tsp chili powder. I used the full amount of hot pepper sauce (Tapatio). So far I've only had this on chicken burgers but I'm sure it'd be yummy with just about anything. It's a nice change from plain ketchup! My boyfriend loves it too.
Husband LOVES this stuff... "Heinz Plus"...on eggs burgers hot dogs meat loaf he even puts it on tuna (yes he does.) Great idea!
I just added the spices to a nearly full bottle of ketchup and SHOOK well. No wastage or clean up. It worked for me. Used a skewer to mix in the seasonings a little at a time.
I love this so much. I am not a big ketchup fan but I put this on everything. I actually eat breakfast now because it's so good on an egg sandwich.
