How to Make Texas Roadhouse Cajun Horseradish Sauce

Horseradish Sauce: When making this sauce, it’s important that you use prepared horseradish and not horseradish sauce. Horseradish sauce is going to already have mayo or sour cream added to it so it won’t be very spicy.
Mix: Grab a medium-sized bowl and add the mayonnaise, sour cream, chili sauce, cayenne pepper, and horseradish sauce. Mix it all together with a spoon, spatula, or whisk.
Chill: Place your sauce in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours and serve in your favorite serving bowls.

Key Ingredients

Chili Sauce: Similar to ketchup with added spices, surprisingly Chili Sauce doesn’t have any chili in it. Some recipes call for cayenne pepper but most are just tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, and allspice. It’s a mild sweet tomato sauce used in recipes like Cocktail Meatballs.
Prepared Horseradish: This is a pickled version of the grated horseradish root with vinegar and salt. It is not the same thing as horseradish sauce, which is creamy and mild. You can usually find prepared horseradish in the deli department and near pickled items or condiments.
Mayonnaise & Sour Cream: These two ingredients will add the creaminess to the dip. Sour cream will also bring a tangy flavor and mayonnaise will add a slight sweetness and richness.
