Description
Make the ultimate creamy, tangy smash burger sauce. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients to give your burgers that popular restaurant-style flavor. It works great on sandwiches or as a dip for your fries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish
- 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, and salt.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and uniform in color.
- Taste the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed, adding a touch more vinegar for tang or sugar for sweetness.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the burger sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Use generously on your smash burgers, sandwiches, or serve alongside crispy fries.
Notes
- You can make this sauce up to three days ahead of time; the flavor improves overnight.
- For a copycat flavor closer to a specific fast-food style, slightly increase the vinegar or add a pinch of garlic powder.
- If you prefer it thinner, add one teaspoon of water or pickle juice while mixing.
