My Fish Taco Sauce and Maple Mustard Sauce recipes have been such a hit with all of you that I thought a good hamburger sauce was in order!

What Is Burger Sauce?

Most places call it special, house, or secret sauce. And the ingredients can vary from restaurant to restaurant. But generally, Burger Sauce is a creamy orange sauce made with a ketchup and mayonnaise base, spices, and additional mix-ins.

We’ve all heard of McDonald’s Big Mac Sauce (which might just be Thousand Island dressing), and Chick-fil-a Sauce, and many other places serve up their variation of the popular condiment as well. Not to mention every condiment company seems to have launched a Burger Sauce product in the last year.

But this version is what I believe to be the best signature sauce for burgers and beyond! It’s cheap and easy to make and tastes incredibly delicious too! I also really love it on our Burger Bowls recipe and for dipping Garbage Bread in!

What Does Burger Sauce Taste Like?

It’s creamy with a touch of heat thanks to the sriracha and smoked paprika and a vinegar zing from the ketchup and pickles.

Is Homemade Burger Sauce Vegan?

No, it’s not. It’s made with mayonnaise which is made from eggs. However, you could use a Vegan Mayo to make it so.

    I didn’t have relish and just used some straight up pickle juice. 😅 This sauce is fantastic and I haven’t even put it on our burger bowls yet!
