About this Recipe

This Cajun Horseradish Sauce is the perfect dip for all your favorite breaded, fried foods. From Fried Pickles to Cheese Curds to Crispy Chicken Tenders, this creamy, tangy, spicy horseradish sauce works with everything. It may be the one sauce to rule them all.

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 creaminess to the dip. Sour cream will also bring a tangy flavor, and mayonnaise will add a slight sweetness and richness.

What to Pair with Texas Roadhouse Cajun Horseradish Sauce (Copycat)

  • Appetizers: Serve this sauce with all your favorite appetizers for parties. You can make Texas Roadhouse Cajun Horseradish sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Burgers: Use this dipping sauce as a burger spread. Put Cajun Horseradish Sauce on both halves of a brioche bun, and top your burger with fried onions, crispy bacon, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
  • Steak: Serve this horseradish sauce alongside Ribeye Steak, along with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans for a steakhouse-worthy dinner. 
  • Roast Beef: Substitute this Cajun Horseradish Sauce on Slow Cooker Roast Beef Sandwiches for a better-than-fast-food lunch!
  • Salad: Make a smokehouse grilled chicken salad with bacon crumbles, shredded smoked mozzarella, roasted bell peppers, and Cajun Horseradish Sauce as dressing.

How to Store

  • Serve: This has dairy and mayo, so don’t leave this sauce out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. 
  • Store: Store your sauce in a jar or an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this sauce. When you freeze sour cream and mayonnaise sauces, they tend to separate and don’t ever get back to a good texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the sauce need to chill for 2 hours in the fridge?

Allowing the sauce to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours will help all of the ingredients to come together into a great flavor combination. You can chill it for longer if you like, but don’t skip this step, as you will skip out on flavor.

Can Cajun Horseradish Sauce be made ahead of time?

This sauce will last a couple of weeks in the fridge, so go ahead and make it ahead of time when you need to serve it. It will make food prep that much easier if you are expecting company.

Variations

  • Sweet: If you like a little sweetness with your spicy, add some brown sugar to the mix.
  • Extra Seasonings: Add Cajun or Creole seasoning mix into the dip to give it even more flavor.
  • Spicy: If you are looking for a spicier version of this Cajun Horseradish Sauce, add more cayenne pepper or a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.
