You need only a few simple ingredients like ketchup, mayo, and mustard to whip up the most creamy, tangy and delicious hamburger sauce from scratch. This really is the best burger sauce recipe – and tastes way better than sauces from Burger King or any fast food restaurant!
Sommer’s Recipe Notes
Boring burgers? Nuh-uh, not in this house! While we love a classic, no-fuss hamburger recipe, everyone agrees that even the best patties deserve to be loaded with all kinds of tasty toppings!
We have a homemade copycat McDonald’s Big Mac sauce recipe here on our site… It is fantastic, and in our humble opinion, better than the original. However, the Big Mac sauce does take quite a few more ingredients than today’s Burger Sauce recipe. So if you are looking for something a bit more rustic, but still incredibly delicious, you’ve come to the right place!
Why You’ll Love This Homemade Burger Sauce Recipe
- Quick and Easy – Our burger sauce requires only 4 ingredients and can be made in just 2 minutes. And I’m 99% sure you have everything needed already in the fridge.
- Versatile – This creamy sauce takes any thick patty or thin smash burger to the next level of deliciousness! You can even use it on salads and in wraps, or for dipping fries and potato chips.
- Better Than Fast Food – Easily tweak this recipe to make a fabulous Burger King sauce copycat recipe with just one additional secret ingredient… A teaspoon of prepared horseradish!
I promise the simple concoction will give every hamburger you make this summer a huge boost of fun and flavor!
Ingredients and Tips
- Mayonnaise – Use your choice of brand, either full-fat or low-fat mayo.
- Ketchup – We used classic ketchup for our secret sauce. However, there are all kinds of options now, like low-sodium and sugar-free ketchup.
- Mustard – Nothing fancy, just classic yellow mustard.
- Worcestershire sauce – Our not-so-secret ingredient that makes the sauce extra savory and slightly smoky.
Recipe Variations
- Vegan – Use eggless mayo with olive oil and vegan Worcestershire sauce for a fantastic veggie burger sauce.
- Burger King sauce – Add a teaspoon of prepared horseradish to give the recipe a nice kick of heat.
- Relish – Stir in a tablespoon of chopped pickle relish for a taste similar to Big Mac thousand island dressing sauce, but without extra spices or other ingredients.
- Spicy – Add a pinch of crushed red pepper or a dash of hot sauce to make the best spicy sauce for burgers.
How to Make the Best Burger Sauce
Tip for Success – You can make our burger sauce a few days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for any night of the week!
Find the full Homemade Burger Sauce recipe with detailed instructions, storage tips, and a video tutorial in the printable form at the bottom of the post.
Storage Notes
Keep the sauce in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to a week. Give it a good stir before slathering it onto cheeseburgers or using it as a dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Use this zesty sauce on top of classic meaty hamburgers and cheeseburgers (with our fabulous Burger Seasoning), on Smash Burgers, or lean turkey or veggie burgers.
It’s also great to add some richness to a low carb Cheeseburger Salad or in burger wraps!
Use any “extra” sauce as a dip with favorite burger side dishes like Shoestring French Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Tater Tots, or crunchy homemade Potato Chips.
Frequently Asked Questions
“Smash” burger simply means that the ground beef is pressed on the griddle when cooked to create thin, slightly crisp patties. This usually means including 2 patties per burger, and lets you have a bit more fun with layering.
Always start with lettuce on the bottom. This acts as a barrier between the bun and juicy toppings, and helps to avoid soggy bread. Then add heartier veggies, like tomato slices and onion, followed by the burger patty (or patties) and cheese. Finish it off with bread and butter pickle slices, and plenty of sauce slathered onto the top bun.
No, not exactly. Although creamy Thousand Island dressing and burger sauce do share some key ingredients, they are not exactly the same. Thousand Island contains more ingredients than this simple sauce.
Sure, you can. You can add anything you like to a burger! However, we prefer this easy homemade burger sauce and our copycat Big Mac Sauce.
