Instructions
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe mixing bowl.
Add the ketchup, garlic salt, onion powder, paprika, and whisk it all together.
Add the mayonnaise and whisk it in. The sauce will be very thick at this point and could be used as a sandwich spread if desired.
Add 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper for more flavor, up to 1/2 teaspoon for a spicier dip.
If you plan to use the sauce as a dip, add 2 tablespoons water to the mix and whisk it together. It will thin the sauce out making it perfect for drizzling and dipping.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use. The flavor will be at its best the next day once it has had a chance to marinate.
