- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional; add more heat if desired)
