Instructions

  • Let’s get cooking! Follow along as we detail the process of creating your own Whataburger Chophouse Sauce.

Step 1: Gather Your Shots

  • First things first, make sure to gather all your ingredients. It saves time and ensures you won’t be scrambling halfway through the recipe. A clear countertop and a good chef’s knife are your best buddies here.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of dry mustard powder, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of garlic granules, 1 tablespoon of onion granules, and half a teaspoon of ground white pepper.
  • Whisk these together. The aroma will begin to rise, and your anticipation will intensify.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

  • Next, it’s time to incorporate some zing! Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1 1/3 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and 1 teaspoon of honey into the bowl. Stir these into the dry ingredients.
  • Watch your sauce transform dramatically.

Step 4: Creamy Goodness

  • Now, let’s make it creamy! Grab that cup of Kraft Mayonnaise. Fold it into your mixture until everything is well combined. It should look smooth and luscious. If it seems too thick for your liking, feel free to adjust with a tad more vinegar or lemon juice.

Step 5: Final Touches

  • Finally, deeply season your sauce with 1 1/2 tablespoons of freshly cracked black pepper and the optional Accent seasoning. Don’t be shy here. Taste your sauce and adjust as necessary. Maybe you crave more heat? Just toss in a pinch more chipotle.

Step 6: Rest and Chill

  • For the best flavor profile, store your sauce in a container and allow it to sit in the fridge for at least an hour. This helps all the flavors merge beautifully.

Notes

Let’s make sure you get this sauce just right! Here are a few nuggets of wisdom:
  • Make it Fresh: This sauce tastes best when it’s freshly made. Feel free to adjust ingredient proportions to suit your palate.
  • Customize Spiciness: Love heat? Add an extra tablespoon of chipotle. Prefer mild? Scale it back.
  • Herb Up: Fresh herbs can amp up the flavor. A sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley could do wonders.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Replace mayonnaise with vegan mayonnaise for a plant-based variant.
  • Meal Prep: Make a big batch and store it in the fridge. It lasts about a week and can be a game-changer for your weekday recipes.
