where does comeback sauce come from?
There’s little doubt that comeback sauce originated in Jackson, Mississippi, but as is often the case with a classic recipe like this,  the precise origins of the original recipe are still hotly debated.

According to Jackson’s Clarion Ledger, many have credited The Rotisserie, Jackson’s first Greek restaurant for creating comeback sauce, but others claim that it originated in 1935 at what’s believed to be the city’s oldest restaurant, the Mayflower Café.

tips for making mississippi comeback sauce
There’s no cooking involved here, you just assemble the various ingredients and mix them all together and you’re done.

Most of the most popular recipes call for Heinz Chili sauce but I used Sriracha sauce instead.

Many recipes also had oil added but I really don’t need the extra calories and think it tastes great without it.

When I made this last week I served it to the family with some ready cooked frozen shrimp, it was very popular with everyone in the house and I admit that I had some of the leftover sauce with my bacon in the morning, yum!
