Burger Sauce

I can’t eat a burger without my favorite burger sauce on top! It’s sweet, spicy, and tangy– the best of all worlds! A simple mixture of mayo, Dijon, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire, and a couple of spices creates the most delicious flavor, and it couldn’t be easier to make. I love to use this special burger sauce on just about any sandwich. It’s that good.

What I love best about this burger sauce recipe is how easy it is to make. It only takes 5 minutes to gather everything up from the pantry and stir it all together. I almost always have all of he ingredients on hand, so I never have to be without my favorite sauce!

What’s in This Burger Sauce Recipe?

• Mayonnaise: This is the base of any classic burger sauce because it creates that creamy consistency. Feel free to use a full-fat or low-fat version.
• Dijon Mustard: This has a distinctive, tangy flavor that blends nicely with the other ingredients.
• BBQ Sauce: You can use any kind you like to make the sauce more tangy, sweet, spicy, or smokey. I like to use a spicy and tangy variety.
• Worcestershire Sauce: This adds a complex flavor that is savory, tangy, and a little sweet all at the same time.
• Seasoning: A bit of salt and pepper helps balance the taste, and crushed red pepper gives it a little kick.

Tips for Success

• If using a barbecue sauce with a little less kick, try adding another ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and ½ teaspoon chili powder.
• Try adding pickle relish if you want more texture, and a tangy vinegar taste.
• Mix in some hot sauce or sriracha if you really like it spicy.
• Use plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter sauce.

How to Store

Store homemade burger sauce in an airtight container, and keep it in the refrigerator up to 2 months. I like to make a larger batch (double or triple the ingredients) so I have it on hand through all of grilling season!
