They say the first step to curing addiction is admitting you have a problem, so here it is: I have a whole shelf in my cabinet lined with bottles, and get anxious eating meals without knowing if there is access to hot sauce.

Crystal is the best hot sauce around. Very similar to Tabasco, this hot sauce comes out of Louisiana but has a more well-rounded flavor than Tabasco. Crystal is a great everything sauce. It’s great for spicing up eggs for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and southern staples like greens and mac and cheese. Don’t be afraid to try adding hot sauce in places it doesn’t normally belong to add much-needed heat.

Sriracha may not need any introduction since the chili sauce has grown so popular in America. People love this hot sauce for its bold heat and garlicky flavor. Sriracha is also phenomenal in soups. It’s always a good option to try spicing up ramen or any other homemade soups that are commonly made in the upcoming winter months.

You may have seen Cholula in some Mexican restaurants or markets. This Mexican hot sauce made its way to America by way of Texas and is a perfect complement to tacos and burritos. For the flavor to really shine through, pour some hot sauce onto a meal and squeeze some fresh lime juice to brighten it all up. One favorite suggestion is a bowl of black beans, avocado and cheese.
