Classic Burger Sauce

A Great Sauce makes for a GREAT BURGER! A Classic Sauce that’s also highly customizable!

Since I’ve started the Burger Dude account, I’ve made a ton of Burger Sauces. Over time, I refined and added things to my own Classic Burger Sauce recipe to reflect what I like in a sauce. You can totally just use some vegan mayo, ketchup, relish and vinegar for a quick sauce, or add a few more ingredients to spice it up! I highly encourage you to experiment with it!

This sauce is Classic in the sense that it’s very much of the kind of sauce you’d find at In-N-Out, or on a Big Mac, basically a plussed up Thousand Island!

To be honest, I usually just wing it when I make a sauce, and I rarely make it the same way twice. However, this recipe is from my Cookbook, and I’ve made it a bunch of times and it always hits the spot! That being said, feel free to leave things out, or add anything you want as well!

Ingredients

• Vegan Mayo – This is the base of the sauce and mandatory!
• Ketchup – Not necessarily mandatory, but I can’t imagine the sauce without it. Adds some nice sweetness and, I mean, it’s ketchup! If you absolutely hate ketchup I guess leave it out, but the sauce really benefits from it!
• Mustard – I’ve made this sauce with yellow and dijon mustard and it totally works either way. You can leave out mustard too, but I usually opt for it.
• Relish – Sweet or dill relish both work. Depends on my mood, but I typically go with dill.
• Vinegar – To balance out some of the sweeter elements and to also thin the sauce out a little. You can even use pickle brine if you wanna make it extra zippy, or hot sauce for some added kick!
• Seasonings – I almost always use some garlic and onion powder and smoked paprika. Chipotle powder for a little kick is great too! Just add a little though so you don’t overpower it!
• Worcestershire – It’s not in this recipe, but I do like adding a dash or two of some vegan worcestershire to this sauce as well.

Storage

Keep it in the fridge and use within 3-5 days.
