fromwholesomecove.comwww.wholesomecove.com/burger-sauce-recipe
This homemade burger sauce is the secret weapon that transforms any burger from good to unforgettable. With a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors from simple pantry staples like mayo, ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle relish, this creamy, restaurant-quality condiment comes together in just 5 minutes — no cooking required. It keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks and doubles beautifully as a dip for fries, a spread for sandwiches, or a drizzle over grilled chicken.
Ingredients
Instructions
Add mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together until completely smooth and uniform — the mixture should turn a pale orange color with no streaks remaining.
Add the dill pickle relish, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Stir gently to incorporate — small relish chunks are normal and add great texture.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne (if using), and sugar. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds, scraping the bottom and sides, until all spices are fully dissolved.
Taste the sauce and adjust as needed — a splash of vinegar for more tang, a pinch of sugar for sweetness, or more cayenne for heat. Make adjustments one small addition at a time.
Transfer sauce to an airtight container, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (2 hours is ideal) to allow flavors to meld before serving.
