  • 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ teaspoon Seasoned Salt
  • 1 splash Whole Milk

  • bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients: sour cream, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, and whole milk. Having everything ready makes the process so much smoother.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the sour cream. It should be the star of your sauce, so make sure to use a good quality one. This is where the creaminess will come from.
  3. Next, sprinkle in the onion powder and garlic powder. These ingredients will infuse the sauce with flavor. Use a whisk to combine them with the sour cream until smooth.
  4. Add in the grated Parmesan cheese. This will give your sauce a delightful richness. Mix it well to ensure it’s evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
  5. Now, it’s time to add the hot sauce. Stir it in carefully. Taste the mixture to see if it’s to your liking. Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your heat preference.
  6. Sprinkle in the seasoned salt. This will enhance the flavors and bring everything together. Mix thoroughly.
  7. Finally, add a splash of whole milk to thin out the sauce. Whisk until you achieve your desired consistency. You want it to be creamy but not too thick for dipping.
  8. Once everything is combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  9. After the sauce has chilled, give it another quick stir before serving. Make sure to keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to enjoy. This sauce is best served cold!
