Sour Cream: Again, full-fat is best for this recipe. You could also use Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.
Cayenne Pepper Sauce: This is the key ingredient that gives the sauce heat. You can use any brand of cayenne pepper sauce, but we recommend using Louisiana Hot Sauce or Tabasco sauce.
Worcestershire Sauce: This adds a bit of depth of flavor to the sauce.
Tabasco Sauce: This will give the sauce an extra kick of heat. You could also use Sriracha sauce if you don’t have any on hand.
Garlic Powder: A bit of garlic powder rounds out the flavors in the sauce.
Salt: Just a touch of salt is all you need.
What else do I need?
In addition to the ingredients listed above, you will need:
- A bowl for mixing: Any medium-sized bowl will do.
