Comeback sauce is one of those condiments that makes everything it touches taste better — tangy, smoky, a little spicy, and deeply savory all at once. This version comes together in minutes with just a whisk and a bowl, layering mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, hot sauce, Worcestershire, and a lineup of bold spices into something that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. The hardest part is waiting the 30 minutes for it to chill and let the flavors meld — but that patience absolutely pays off. One thing that trips people up with store-bought dipping sauces is hidden gluten in additives and thickeners, so making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's in every spoonful. A pinch of cayenne is optional if you want to dial up the heat, and the recipe encourages you to taste and adjust before it goes in the fridge, which makes it easy to get it exactly right for your crowd. With 8 servings, this batch is perfect for a cookout spread, a game-day platter, or just keeping in the fridge all week for fries, grilled chicken, and everything in between.
