Notes
Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.
Note 1: Read labels well if you follow specific diets such as keto, diabetic, etc. Look for sugar-free ketchup for your dietary needs. My nutrient calculations are showing for regular ketchup, not low-sugar ketchup.
Note 2: I use store-bought grated horseradish. Be sure to use prepared horseradish, not horseradish cream. The cream is different than grated horseradish.
Note 3: Hot sauce is optional. If you like a spicy cocktail sauce add a dash or two to your taste. Same with salt and black pepper, add as needed.
Storage: Keep the sauce in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
