Mayo?
We have a lot of a nice homemade mayonnaise in the fridge because it was simpler to make it than to go back out to the store.* And there’s a lot, like close to 2 cups, because I couldn’t make less. I tried, and it failed to emulsify.
So! What do you cook that takes a lot of mayo besides potato and egg salad? We have favorite recipes for those already. I can’t use it for sweet things like mayonnaise cake** because it’s lightly flavored with garlic.
*Power was out for a good 12 hours or so at the house while we were gone, and there’s various things in the fridge that I didn’t trust, including the opened mayonnaise. The door would have been opened by the petsitter getting the open can of cat food out.
** If you’re not aware of mayo-based baking, the resulting things do not taste of mayo. It basically replaces the fat and some liquid in the batter.

But I found a recipe I made for lunch today for a Tex-Mex-inspired pasta casserole that utilizes leftover fried chicken, combined it with the leftover taco meat we had from a couple of days ago, and made that for lunch using 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise instead of sour cream since we'd forgotten to get sour cream at the store.

Oh, that does sound good!

We served with taco chips to add crunch, and I think I’d have liked some fresh elements—tomatoes, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and maybe a dollop of sour cream to add extra tang.

I think pimento cheese dip recipes include mayo. Elotes is a great use. When I made moules marinières for a friend who is dairy-free, I used it to enrich the mussel broth.

Could you do something like zucchini bread but make it savory, maybe with some cheese? Or make savory zucchini bread with mayo, and then use some slices with mayo for grilled cheese?
Do you like durian? Mild garlic flavor might just blend in....
Can you cook it with wine or roux or something to turn it into a sauce, for pasta, something like moussaka, msc & cheese, or tuna casserole?

Oooh, my local burger joint makes fried pickles with a lovely chipotle mayo to dip it in, which I think is just mayo and adobo sauce from a can of peppers.
Tuna salad with relish and scallions?
Chicken salad with granny smiths and cranberries? (Which is, incidentally, the same fruit I put in my oatmeal.)
