What Do You Need To Make Dennys All American Sauce

Ingredients

Mayonnaise

I recommend using homemade mayonnaise for a richer, creamier flavor, but you can use your favorite store-bought brand.

You can also substitute sour cream or non-flavored Greek yogurt for the mayo.

Fresh Garlic

Intensifies the flavor of your sauce.

Feel free to substitute garlic powder if you don’t have fresh garlic on hand.

Fresh Onion

You can substitute red onion to give your sauce a richer onion flavor. Or use a teaspoon of onion powder.

Celery and Green Bell Pepper

Give your sauce more depth.

Roma or Plum Tomatoes

Look for fresh, firm tomatoes.

If you can’t find Romas or plum tomatoes, any other firm, ripe tomato will work.

Don’t have fresh? Go ahead and use a can of crushed tomatoes.

Tomato Paste

Brings out the flavor of the fresh tomatoes.

Fresh Oregano and Basil

Feel free to use dried if you don’t have access to fresh herbs.

Brown Sugar and Honey

Give your sauce the perfect touch of sweetness.

Cayenne Pepper

Make your sauce as hot as you want, or leave it out altogether.

Salt and Black Pepper

I recommend using coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Be sure to taste it so you don’t over-season the sauce.

Equipment

• Cutting board
• Knife
• Large saucepan
