How To Make The Most Of Your Leftover Raising Cane's Sauce, According To TikTok

TikTok has given us more viral food hacks than we can count, including the cucumber salad that changed the way we enjoyed the fruit and the Dubai chocolate bar that, believe it or not, made milk chocolate even more appealing. Of course, fast food chains weren't left unscathed by online foodies who believe there's always room to make a classic order into a smash hit. Take the sauce at Raising Cane's for instance, a crowd favorite that comes in up to 32 ounces of pure goodness. You're expected to have leftovers when getting yourself this hefty portion, but TikTok showed us how to make the most of it by adding a dollop to Alfredo pasta.

Just make the dish as you usually do and add the sauce bit by bit until you achieve the desired flavor and texture. Or, if you're a daredevil, try substituting the Alfredo sauce entirely. Sure, you can make Alfredo sauce with just three ingredients, but throwing some Raising Cane's sauce into the mix surely wouldn't hurt, especially if you need an easy tip to avoid food waste. What's even more exciting about the 32 ounces of piquant dip is that you can use it in other dishes to change the way you enjoy your favorites.

Raising Cane's sauce can be an interesting addition to cheese sticks — which are typically cheese wrapped in a spring roll wrapper — drawing inspiration from how Filipinos enjoy this snack with ketchup and mayonnaise. These are the two base ingredients of several homemade Raising Cane's sauce recipes anyway, so it wouldn't be much of an out-of-the-box swap that might raise a few brows. This also works well on mozzarella cheese sticks and fried calamari if you prefer a crumbly, crunchy exterior.

An obvious way to use your leftover sauce is on fries, though you might want to steer toward a more nutritious route by slicing some potatoes and popping them in the air fryer. Otherwise, knowing how to make legitimately crispy fries at home is a surefire way to create a hearty, indulgent snack. Just drizzle the sauce over the fries and add a few toppings to keep things interesting, such as ground beef, onions, and tomatoes. Better yet, riff on the idea by enjoying the sauce over nachos instead of fries.
