    What Is Burger Sauce?

    Burger sauce is traditionally a mix of mayonnaise and ketchup, along with a few other add-ins (like relish, vinegar, or mustard). Our recipe is simple and classic, and uses only mayonnaise, ketchup, onion powder and relish.

    Burger sauce is a diner and fast food favorite (some chains add it to their burgers), but it's also popular for dipping fries. It's similar to Fry Sauce or Special Sauce.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • ¼ cup ketchup
    • ¼ teaspoon onion powder 
    • 2 tablespoon relish

    How to Make Classic Burger Sauce

    Burger sauce is incredibly simple to make! Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and stir until combined. For best flavor, refrigerate for a couple of hours (to let the flavors marinate) before using.

    How to Store Homemade Burger Sauce

    Store your sauce leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    What to Eat with Burger Sauce

    Besides burgers, this sauce is tasty on so many things... try it in Burger Bowls, wraps, sandwiches or as a dipping sauce (for fries, chicken tenders, etc).
