Start by gathering all the ingredients mentioned above. Having everything ready will make the process smoother.
In a mixing bowl, add the 1/2 cup of sour cream and 2 tablespoons of ketchup. These two ingredients form the base of your sauce.
Next, sprinkle in the 1/2 teaspoon of McCormick seasoned salt, the 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper, and the 1 1/2 teaspoons of horseradish. These ingredients will bring depth and flavor to your sauce.
Using a whisk or spoon, mix all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Make sure there are no lumps.
Finally, fold in the 1/4 teaspoon of paprika for that beautiful color and subtle smokiness. Stir until fully incorporated.
Give your sauce a taste. If you prefer it spicier, feel free to add more red pepper. If you want a bit more tang, a touch more horseradish can do the trick.
For the best flavor, let your sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
