The Best Burger Sauce

This is my go-to, always-on-hand sauce for burgers. Sure, I’ll mix it up some times and use other sauces. But this one finds its way onto my burgers a lot. I consider it to be a somewhat grownup version of that famous special sauce you get at McDonald’s. And it couldn’t be any easier to make, using ingredients I often have on hand. For me, it’s the Best Burger Sauce there is.

You don’t need a whole lot of this sauce to make your next burger special. Slather it on your buns. Top. And bottom. Then enjoy!

The Best Burger Sauce

Perfectly Spicy

You can use any hot sauce you like. If I’m using this Best Burger Sauce on burgers I’m cooking for others, and I’m not sure if they like spicy foods, I use Cholula or Louisiana hot sauce. Neither is particularly spicy, but both add great flavor to the sauce. If you decide to leave out the heat, I’d recommend adding a pinch or two of Cajun seasoning or even Old Bay. This sauce is about flavor. Not bland. So load it up!

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

No Burgers No Worries

This sauce is definitely not just a great way to kick up some hot-off-the-grill burgers. It’s great on hot dogs, too. If you’ve not tried a mayo-based sauce on a hot dog, you’re missing you. The creaminess really works well with them, especially beef dogs.

I also like to use this sauce on sandwiches. From just-bologna-on-white-bread-with-some-cheese sandwiches to big ole hoagies. It beats the heck out of a hoagie dressing or just mustard or whatever. It’s a great alternative!

Also try my fire-eater burger sauce!
