Looks like you are missing the mayo and whatever the red stuff on top is. Pleas advise! Would love to make this.

Added in mayo (1 pint). The red bits are chopped bacon! Enjoy—it's so good.

The Food52 Review says "mayonnaise" but I don't see it in the ingredients list or instructions - how much mayo? I might use sriracha mayo.

Sorry! Added back. It calls for a 1 pint jar of plain mayo. You could try a flavored kind if you like, but I find a neutral allows the flavor of the other ingredients to shine.
