Add diced sweet onion and minced garlic, sautéing until slightly crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. If using, add diced bell pepper or poblano pepper during the last 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. 2 While onions cool, finely chop pickles into small chunks (or use dill relish if you're taking the easy route). 3 Divide the cooled onion mixture evenly among three bowls for your three sauces. 4 For Red Sauce: Mix ketchup, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Worcestershire, paprika, salt, pepper, and pickles with one portion of the onion mixture. Add optional sweet relish or red wine vinegar if desired. 5 For Yellow Sauce: Combine yellow mustard, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, paprika, and pickles with the second portion of onion mixture. Stir in optional honey, sweet relish, or vinegar to taste. 6 For Dark Red Sauce: Mix BBQ sauce, Dijon honey mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, paprika, salt, pepper, and pickles with the remaining onion mixture. Add optional sriracha, red wine vinegar, or sweet relish if you like. 7 Taste each sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors blend together.
