Burger Sauce Recipe: 4-Ingredient Glory You’Ll Crave

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard (or spicy mustard if you’re feeling bold)
  • 1 tsp pickle relish (optional, but it’s the secret zing)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika if you’re in a rush)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dash of hot sauce (optional for heat lovers)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir until there’s no white-newspaper-melt situation—smooth and cohesive.
  • Fold in pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well so every bite gets a little fireworks.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce if you want a gentle kick. Taste and adjust. You’re the boss of this sauce.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flavors mingle and stop deferring to the fridge for a better life.
  • Spread on buns, dollop on burgers, or use as a dip. If you’re feeling fancy, whisk in a pinch of lemon juice for brightness.
