This is a staple down south; especially in Mississippi. It is simple to put together, and works with seafood (I love it with shrimp), French fries, and I have even been known to use it as a dip with bacon. So yummy. I have made a few adjustments to the recipe to suit my own personal style; however, as the name suggests: It tastes so good, you will “comeback” for more. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make dip essentials: yummy comeback sauce

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 3
    Chef’s Note: One of the things that I did to change this recipe is to reduce the cloyingly sweet taste of some versions. For example, I saw one recipe that used an entire cup of ketchup, along with a bunch of sugar and sweeteners. The finished photo looked like a gloppy mess. Comeback sauce is not a heavy sauce; it is light in nature. It does not cover the flavor of your food; it should heighten it.
  • Step 4
    Add all the sauce ingredients into a non-reactive bowl, and whisk until thoroughly combined… Whisk, Whisk, Whisk. A chef’s work is never done.
  • Step 5
    Chef’s Tip: If you are feeling a bit bone-idle today, you can always use a blender, or mini-prep to do the mixing.
  • Step 6
    Add 1/2 of the lemon juice, whisk, and taste.
  • Step 7
    Chef’s Note: Add the remainder of the lemon juice, if you feel it is needed.
  • Step 8
    Cover, and place into the fridge overnight (assuming you can wait that long).
  • Step 9
    Chef’s Tip: It really does taste better the next day.
  • Step 10
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • Step 11
    Serve as a dip with seafood, veggies, French fries, BACON, whatever you fancy. Enjoy.
  • Step 12
    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
