Julia Banse says
Really solid sauce! I actually had the Cholula on hand. I love the sweetness from the ketchup. I hate mayo, but it was really good in the sauce. Hit with my picky eaters! ❤️

Five star base! I made a much smaller quantity, eyeballing equivalents, which was totally fine. We also didn’t have any garlic salt, so I subbed with a little garlic powder and some sea salt. Also used Frank’s hot sauce. I love Cholula, just didn’t have any on hand! The thing that wound up taking this to the next level was adding a little pickle juice. Just like half a teaspoon or so. The little extra zing made it perrrrrfect. Highly recommend!
