Ketchup--it's not just a fry thing

okay more ketchup-yes please

I know I am out of luck if I don't have ketchup around when the grandkids are over having a pizza night---several of them wouldn't have it any other way than a big mound of tangy sweet ketchup on the side for dipping of course!

but wow it's a versatile little item---

you probably already use it in your meatloaf and on top----

it can really boost up your baked beans and is great for topping your best mac and cheese---

I love having it on scrambled eggs or hash browns---let's face it- it's great on any taters!

and I bet you know you can make your own thousand island dressing with it--just add relish and mayo and some like a taste of hot sauce

don't have any soup in the house and someone just has to have some good old tomato soup---I kid you not----add as much as you desire to milk---a tsp or so of mustard and I like to add Italian seasoning to mine-

add about a half of cup to some jiffy cornbread mix----surprisingly good

I add it to my chili also--especially if I don't have tomato paste on hand

what is your favorite ketchup trick---come on--I won't tell anyone

  1. I had not thought to add it to cornbread mix; I'll have to try that down the line. I don't think there is any other use that you didn't mention here that we use ketchup for. Hubby will use it in soup and it is delicious that way!
