Comeback Sauce

We were at the mall the other day and I was tempted to buy an A&W Mozza Burger but managed to resist the temptation with the promise to myself that I would make an even better burger at home. I didn’t bother with homemade patties but bought organic store bought patties instead and topped them with mozzarella cheese and “comeback sauce”. I had never heard of this before but the name was certainly seductive. As with many of my not so common recipes I found this on Pinterest and thought I’d give it a try. It’s quite good. It could be called “everything but the fridge” sauce because you basically combine every condiment you have in the fridge to make it. I’ve never tried chilli sauce before so I had to buy that as well as some hot sauce. After reading a couple of comparisons on the internet between Frank’s Red Hot and Sriracha I decided to go with Sriracha instead because it seems to have more depth of flavour. The comeback sauce was creamy and tangy with a enough heat to make it interesting. I can’t wait to try it on onion rings!
