    How to Make Homemade Come Back Sauce

    I love comeback sauce. I am kind of a junky. I could seriously put it on everything. The first time I had it was for a dip for fries and the next was a dip for fried pickles. Since these are 2 of my most favorite foods, I was hooked. Now whenever we have a get-together, for game day or a picnic, I always make comeback sauce.

    What is Comeback Sauce

    Comeback sauce sometimes spelled come back sauce, is a southern style sauce that was created in Jackson, Mississippi by a local restaurant. It has since taken off and can be found in restaurants all over Mississippi as well as around the country. This sauce has a slight tanginess, and a small amount of heat, more for flavor than spice. Even those who do not like heat won’t mind this.

    What is Mississippi Comeback Sauce Used For?

    Comeback sauce is perfect many things. I have used it as a dip for veggies, fried pickles, potato chips. I have added it to the top of burgers and sandwiches, and my favorite, french fries. We use it often, and everyone always asks for the comeback sauce recipe. I don’t think there has been a single party or picnic that I have left without giving at least one person the recipe.

    Comeback Sauce for a French Fry Bar for Game Day Celebrations

    The last time we had friends for over for game day, I decided to do a fry bar. Everyone who comes over loves when I do this because it gives a nice variety. I usually have a few other snacks out as well.  I like to have a cheese sauce, usually bacon buts, because bacon makes everything better, and of course, I made my comeback sauce.  

    Weight Watchers Points in Comeback Sauce

    This Comeback Sauce recipe makes about 15 tablespoons. So one tablespoon of this sauce is 1 point. Whether you use it for fries, on a sandwich or however, you know the sauce itself is only 1 point.

    Is Comeback Sauce ok on Keto/ Low Carbs?

    With a small change, you can make Comeback Sauce low carb. It will taste amazing on your burgers, hot dogs, as a dip for keto chips, cheese crisps, whatever. Since this recipe uses ketchup, you need to swap it for a sugar free ketchup. You can buy sugar free ketchup online, in some stores, or here is a recipe to make it yourself. I haven’t tried this recipe myself yet but I wanted to share it so you can have options.
