Barbecue Spread

Two ingredients. Two minutes. One spread that punches way above its weight.

Stir together mayonnaise and barbecue sauce and you’ve got a creamy, smoky, tangy condiment that makes everything it touches better.

Slather it on burgers, spread it across sandwich bread, use it as a dip for fries, or thin it out as a slaw dressing.

The ratio is easy to remember: two parts mayo to one part BBQ sauce. Adjust to your taste from there.

Variations

• Add a squeeze of sriracha or hot sauce for a spicy kick
• Stir in a teaspoon of smoked paprika for extra smokiness
• Mix in finely minced pickles or pickle relish for a BBQ-ranch hybrid
• Use chipotle BBQ sauce for a smoky, Mexican-inspired version

Kitchen Tips

• Use your favorite barbecue sauce here; the spread is only as good as your sauce
• Keeps in the fridge for up to a week in a sealed container
