What is spicy ketchup?

Spicy ketchup is an irresistible, tangy sauce commonly used as a burger spread or dipping sauce. It combines hot sauce (usually Sriracha or common generic alternatives) with your favorite ketchup for a delightful acidic, spicy sauce.

What’s in spicy ketchup?

Spicy ketchup is most commonly made from hot sauce and ketchup. Some recipes call for you to make the ketchup yourself, but for the sake of simplicity, we will use whatever kind of ketchup you already have in your cabinet!

To make your spicy ketchup even more interesting, you can add seasonings like chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder to your own preference. 

Can you buy spicy ketchup?

There are a few different types of spicy ketchup on the market — like Heinz Hot & Spicy and Whataburger-brand spicy ketchup. The Heinz variety uses tabasco as the spicy element, which is not my preference (I hate tabasco sauce!).

Luckily it’s incredibly easy to make at home!
