Utah's Fry Sauce, Pepsi Ketchup Chicken, and more Recipes using Ketchup

This week at Albertsons they have their Hunt's ketchup 24 oz. size on sale for .60! Did you know that ketchup is used in over 97% of American households!

"Nearly everyone likes ketchup, even if what they like to put it on seems odd-Nixon covered his cottage cheese with it, the Japanese eat it on rice, and one ice cream manufacturer allegedly once tried a ketchup ice cream."

I must admit I have never used ketchup for any one those things, but here are some recipes that do call for ketchup that I think are yummy!

My family begs me to make this recipe ALL the time. It is super good. I saw it on GTU a couple years ago when they cooked it in a dutch oven, but I adjusted it to cook in my crock pot.

Pepsi Ketchup ChickenYou'll need:
4 chicken breasts

1 16 ounce bottle of Pepsi
1 24 ounce bottle of Ketchup
salt & pepper
1 large purple onion

2 green peppers

2 red peppers

2 yellow/orange peppers (if desired)

Make it:

Cut up your vegetables and meat. Place half of the vegetables in a layer on the bottom and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the ketchup and the Pepsi on top of this layer. Place the other half of the vegetables on top of the chicken.
Slow cook in the crock pot.

I serve it with rice and homemade rolls.
Occasionally if the sauce looks to runny I will thicken it with a cornstarch paste (4 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with cold water) and let it sit for 30 min.

Make some homemade french fries and serve it with the infamous Utah "fry sauce".

I like to mix 1 part ranch dressing to one part ketchup, but other people like mixing it with 1 part ketchup to one part mayonnaise.


How do you like to use your ketchup???
