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.

Nice tomato sauce flavour (ketchup in Aussie slang). Can notice pepper flavour in aftertaste

Very yum recipe. Hold On, Plan your dream wedding at La Palacio, Best Wedding Resort in Chandigarh. Stunning venues, luxury stays & seamless service.
We’ve been using the supermarket bottled sauce for convenience but I’d say this sauce is just as good. I made a smaller batch and estimated the vinegar and sugar so I might’ve been a little generous with sugar. I may need to tweak the quantities, I’d prefer my sauce less sweet.
I added a touch more vinegar and also added garlic powder. My family thought it came out great! Really good for dipping sweet potato fries in too.
