This is the spicest ketchup I can find at your run-of-the-mill grocery store. I've tried the jalapeno version, which is pretty good too. Other than that, I have tried Whataburger spicy ketchup as well as Sriracha ketchup. All great, but I need spicier.

Any recommendations?

    Yeah make it yourself? I would take normal Heinz and add your favorite hot sauce.

    Melinda’s has a decent variety of spicy ketchup. Not sure how it compares to Heinz I haven’t tried that

    Melinda’s has a ghost pepper ketchup. I usually just mix my own depending on my mood.

    Try subbing a thick hot sauce for ketchup. Try Tabasco Chipotle or Habanero.

  5. Substantial-Tart-464

    not the spiciest but try Rao Arrabbiata ketchup.

    Ketchup, Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, and your choice hot sauce. I love throwing L&P in ketchup and what ever spicy I’ve got on hand.

    I grew some reapers, smoked em, threw em in a food processor and used the dry powder to mix in ketchup

    Whataburger spicy ketchup is such a let down. My uncle hyped it up, then I tried it and was like “this is just ketchup, where’s the spicy?”

    RIP Hoffs Smokin Ghost Ketchup 😥

  9. I’ve been looking since I found that exists but haven’t been able to find it at my grocery stores here. I like the Melinda’s “ghost pepper” ketchup on hamburger, but it’s not great with fries. I was hoping this one might be.

    That said, Melinda’s is also grocery store level “spicy”, which is where I’d imagine this is too. I wouldn’t expect it to be the heat you desire.

    I find scorpion Tabasco + ketchup is great for dipping.

    Get regular, run of the mill ketchup and stir in Tabasco Scorpion, or whatever sauce you like, buy the ketchup in bulk and then transfer your mixture to cheap restaurant supply store squeeze bottles

  12. What’s the problem with just taking any sauce you like, spicy or not, & then just add the spicy yourself? Reaper powder and you’re good

    Capsaicin oil: one drop, shake shake shake, taste test, repeat

    Melinda’s has a ghost pepper ketchup and volcanic peppers has red reaper ketchup. I’ve never tried them so I couldn’t tell you how spicy they are.

    This was pretty disappointing, as I recall. Bought it once, never bothered again.

    Melinda’s makes ghost pepper ketchup

    Uh oh, does this mean habaneros will soon be getting jalapeño-fied?

  18. WhenDuvzCry

    Like many others have said Tabasco Scorpion mixes well

  19. artfulpain

    I’ve been mixing OMNI IL MIG + with ketchup lately and it’s a perfect heat step up.

    Try crazy Jerry’s mustard gas if you can find it, thats my all time favorite hot mustard!

    Tbf here Heinz is playing it safe on the spice factor. Habanero are distinct in smokey flavor, probably just for the flavor of it.

    Just like jalapeno has such a distinct flavor, I don’t even mind if it’s not that spicy taste is important.
