Burger Special Sauce

I'm a burger lover, and if you're here looking for my secret burger sauce recipe, I know you must be, too. I'm about to make your day with this burger sauce recipe. Trust me!

Let me start off by telling you that making burgers isn't just an occasional thing for me; living in Florida, I make them all of the time, so I've had plenty of experience experimenting with different flavor combinations to find the best burger sauce.

Here are just a handful of burgers I've made that pair well with this sauce:

Whenever I make burgers, no matter what kind they are, my family asks for this special sauce on the side. It's easy to make, whips up in minutes, and is just fantastic. If you've ever had In-N-Out burger sauce, it's similar, but with an extra kick of flavor, combining sweet, spicy, and tangy.

This sauce is amazing! Thank you for the recipe. I will never have a burger without it again.

Burger Sauce Ingredients

Mayonnaise: Pick your favorite mayo to serve as the creamy base of this burger sauce recipe.
Ketchup: Use your favorite ketchup. This will add the perfect acidic contrast to the mayo.
Spicy Brown Mustard: I recommend using smooth spicy brown mustard and avoiding stone-ground, which has a grainy texture. You could also use Dijon, though the flavor will be slightly different. Avoid using plain yellow mustard, it's not the same.
Minced Pickles: I'm using minced hamburger pickles. This is key to a good burger sauce recipe!
Pickle Juice: You can use the sauce from the jar of minced hamburger pickles.
Paprika: Any paprika will do.
