Change up the Flavor

Burger sauce can be made just the way you like it! Here are some ideas to adjusting the flavors.

  • Mayonnaise Substitution: It is best to enjoy the thick, rich texture of real mayonnaise but substitute it for Miracle Whip or a veganaise mayo for a preferred taste.
  • Adjust the Sweetness: If you like your burger sauce a little sweeter, add a pinch of granulated sugar. It will help balance out the salty, tangy flavor.
  • Heat: Make this burger sauce spicy if you want! Try adding a dash or two of hot sauce like Tabasco sauce. You can also sprinkle in some cayenne pepper to bring on some extra heat.
