Classic Burger Sauce
If you dig the sauce on Big Macs or the “special sauce” that high-end sandwich joints slather on their burgers, you are going to LOVE this burger sauce!
While I hardly ever eat them, I love a Big Mac every now and then, and I’m pretty sure it’s because of that oh-so-fabulous burger sauce that is slathered on them. I’m a big-time burgers and fries fan, and have been known to order one even at the nicest of restaurants in lieu of a “fancier” meal.
Spoiler alert: I’m not fancy, and I’m certainly not a fancy eater.
Over the last few years, I’ve noticed that most nice restaurants and high-end burger joints have their own “special sauce” that they use on burgers. They tend to taste very similar, and I’m totally addicted. So when I made burgers on Saturday for watching the hockey game, you better believe I was going to whip up a batch of homemade burger sauce!
This is incredibly easy to whip up, and there’s a 98% chance you already have all of the ingredients you need sitting in your refrigerator and pantry. Only six ingredients, one small bowl and a whisk is all you need to get this ready.
It’s the perfect complement to any burger, and I even love using it to dip my fries!
Mmmm bacon cheeseburger with that magical burger sauce :)
Stay tuned tomorrow – I’m going to be sharing an absolute killer cheeseburger recipe (and it doesn’t include the grill!).

Did you make this recipe?
Leave a review below, then snap a picture and tag @thebrowneyedbaker on Instagram so I can see it!
If refrigerated and put in a bottle , what’s the refrigerated life for this?
Does the job.
Best sauce didn’t belive it would turn good but was pleasantly surprised
I skipped the sugar and it’s great
For those saying in too sweet…I wonder if they used Miracle Whip instead of mayo. I used Dukes mayo and the sweet was right on point. Great sauce!
Made this a few times already and it’s always a hit.
Very yummy 😋
How much did this cost to make?
Less than $2.00 CAD. Pretty cheap.
Not a big meat eater. Sauce is excellent — first time in a long time that I have really enjoyed a burger!!
This sauce was great! easy peasy..
Oh look! 1000 Island Dressing. But too sweet and over complicated. Mayo, ketchup, relish. Season as desired.
What’s so complicated about putting ingredients into a bowl and mixing? LOL. Just buy your sauce and leave the rest of us alone.
Melissa, you seem unwell. Get better soon!
Great recipe!
**Easy tip: throw all ingredients into a small mason jar, shake together and place directly into fridge for storage and serving..super easy, easy for any left over as well!
This was sooooo sweet! Would not recommend at all.

It not telling me whole recipes. I cant hear video cuz in deaf. Frustrating.
delicious and easy to cook I dont know what Luke is talking about.
I was part of the 2% that didnt have the ingrediants in the cupboard. 2/10 will not try again.
You’re rating it a 2 because you didn’t have the ingredients?!? That sounds like a YOU problem, not a problem with the recipe.
How thick can someone be?
No more than 7″ diameter.
How can you rate a recipe you didn’t follow?
This recipe used in my resturant best of the best 😋😋
I honestly love this sm and have no complaints! It went great with burger night.
This is the very BEST Burger Sauce! TRY IT!! You won’t be disappointed!
I have always crafted my own burger sauce and this is one of the best
I use it on a Beef burger and its perfect. Im not gonna use it on a vegan burger coz a Vegan burger is not even a burger its something weird people eat.
I made this sauce for my Vegan Carrot Chickpea Burgers. It took the burgers to a whole new level! I definitely give this sauce the thumbs up waaaaaay up 👏
I’ve never made this sauce but always wanted to and I did! It was absolutely delicious on our burgers tonight.
Thanks for posting it. Awesome-ly delish!!
LOVED It! I made a very small single serving for my husband as I do not typically enjoy mayo based sauces and boy did I regret not making more! I didnt have relish so I diced up a mini pickle
Sooo good!!! I didn’t have sweet pickle relish so I used bread and butter pickles ground in the food processor. Thank you for the GREAT recipe!!
Looks really good
Phenomenal
Nice! I love it!
I thinks I can make it so easy! how to screenshot on mac?
