Why have regular ketchup when you can have fancy ketchup? This Worcestershire Ketchup levels up your grilling game and brings burgers and fries from basic to gourmet. The savory steakhouse flavor is better than anything you can get from the grocery store!
Why You’ll Love This Worcestershire Ketchup
Delicious Details
- Cuisine Inspiration: American
- Primary Cooking Method: No-cook
- Dietary Info: Gluten-free, Dairy-free
- Skill Level: Easy
When my kids were little, these wanted to eat everything with ketchup. So I started making my own homemade ketchup. But as I made the basic version more and more, I realized that the possibilities for adding different flavors were endless – just change up the liquids and spices. We ended up with Balsamic Ketchup and Buffalo Ketchup, and finally this Worcestershire Ketchup. I love putting steak sauce on a burger, so I thought that those savory, umami flavors would be perfect for upping my ketchup game. Here’s why you’ll love it too…
- Great flavor. I call it “fancy pants ketchup” fancy pants ketchup. It is somewhere in between plain tomato ketchup and steak sauce with a more complex and interesting flavor that the basic stuff.
- Simple ingredients and prep. No added sugar and only a handful of items you already have in your pantry. Plus all you have to do it stir it together – no cooking required!
- No gluten or dairy. While you do have to check the label on your Worcestershire Sauce, there are several gluten free brand available. So this is a great gluten free and dairy free way to add extra deliciousness to your meals.
What You’ll Need
Here’s a quick list of the ingredients to make this homemade ketchup. Be sure to scroll to the recipe card for the full amounts and directions for making and storing the Worcestershire ketchup.
- Tomato Paste. You’ll need one small 6 oz. can.
- Worcestershire Sauce. Be sure yours is gluten free, if needed. At this time, in the United States, the French’s and Lea & Perrins brands are gluten free, but this can vary by country of manufacture and can change at any time. So always check!
- Seasonings. A blend of salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dry mustard enhances the savory flavors.
How to Use Worcestershire Ketchup
You can serve this fancy ketchup with anything you would enjoy with regular ketchup. It’ll just make it taste that much better! Here are some suggestion.
- Burgers and hot dogs. You can cook them on the grill or make simple Air Fryer Hamburgers or Air Fryer Hot Dogs. But it’s also great to mix right into the meat to add extra flavor to these Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers.
- French fries. I love how this gourmet ketchup pairs with the herbs that are added to Italian Oven Fries or Herbes de Provence Baked Sweet Potato Fries. It also makes Air Fryer Truffle Fries truly restaurant-worthy.
- Tots and rings. Level up some Air Fryer Tater Tots or really get your kids eating all the veggies with Cauliflower Tots. And don’t forget to dunk some Gluten Free Air Fryer Onion Rings.
- Other finger foods. Worcestershire Ketchup is also a great dip for fun snacks like Air Fryer Fried Pickles or Spinach Artichoke Quinoa Bites.

Can’t wait to try this recipe, but I do have a question: can I use mustard in a jar instead of dry mustard?
Yes, standard substitution would be about a 1/2 Tablespoon, but maybe try a little less then adjust to taste. I have not tried it myself that way.
We have some dippers at our house! I will certainly be trying this one out!

So glad I found your GF linky!
Don’t mean to be negative but this tasted horrible. Sorry, really didn’t like it.
No worries! We all have different tastes. You win some, you lose some. Anything in particular you didn’t like about it? I always love to experiment with new dip recipes since my little guy loves them
Okay Horrible was a little too harsh. the tomatoe paste was too intense and it seemed like to much Worcestershire, maybe I read it wrong. Is it really a 1/2 cup to 6 ounce Tomatoe paste.
Yes, that is correct, but we tend to like things a bit more acidic and strong flavored. I also love mixing this into burger, so you want that flavor so that it comes through when mixed with the beef. I should have put the note as I did on my balsamic ketchup recipe, but you could use less Worcesteshire, and then adjust the consistency with water. I base my homemade ketchups on this recipe, but found that it was too watery and not vinegary enough for my taste, so I just use all vinegar in place of the vinegar+water http://www.fixmeasnack.com/2010/01/homemade-ketchup/
thanks for your feedback!
What are the “Bites” in the photo with the ketchup?
I’ll be posting my version of them soon (mine is gluten free), but they are based on this recipe – http://mommasmeals.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/healthy-tater-tots-why-simply-potato/
Thanks Brianne!! You’re the Best!! 🙂
No problem!
I adore ketchup and can’t wait to try making my own with your recipe! I hated bananas and nuts as a kid – now I can’t get enough (except for peanuts – still not a fan).
Oh I have never hated bananas, but I didn’t like nuts either! I am not a huge fan of peanuts themselves, but I love peanut butter!
The recipe I’ve been waiting for and all the ingredients are already in the house. Thanks!
Oooh, hope you like it!
