Step 1: In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of prepared horseradish. Use a spoon or spatula to mix these two ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined.

For a spicier kick, add more horseradish or even a dash of hot sauce. Letting the sauce sit overnight in the refrigerator can enhance the flavors even more.
