The recipe is o.k. But, what is better and closer to Red Robin Campfire sauce is 1/2 Kansas City style BBQ sauce and 1/2 mayo (actually use a little less than 1/2 BBQ sauce, But use only Kansas City style otherwise the taste is a little off. No need for Chipotle anything
This was good, but not close to Red Robin’s campfire sauce. Very BBQ tasting.
So delicious and so easy to make. I used it to drizzle on burgers.
Hi are those frozen, homemade, restaurant chicken strips/nuggets? They look really good, would love to know!
These were some homemade chicken strips use used. We just battered them in buttermilk and seasoned flour.
Stephanie thank you so much for sharing this recipe! We LOVE Red Robin’s campfire sauce & this is EXACTLY IT!! Made it last night with fries & am going to attempt RR’s onion rings with this sauce tonight. Thank you again!
Hey keep it simple it’s just bbq and mayo just a touch more mayo than bbq. I promise I know what I’m talking about.
There’s no Chipotle, Tabasco or Worcestershire in the Campfire Mayo.
It is literally just a cheap hickory BBQ sauce and Mayo.
I should know I prep it once a week
I went there and asked what the recipe was and they said “honey mustard, bbq sauce, and mayonnaise.
Can you please post a Miguel Jrs. horchata recipe?
I will have to keep your suggestion in mind!
I want to make this recipe, but I’m wondering about the ground chipotle chili pepper. Do you buy them ground already? Are they in a can or dry? Thanks for your help. Btw, I love all of your recipes!
You can buy them dry and ground. They are often sold right next to chili power in your grocery store.
