I can’t eat a burger without my favorite burger sauce on top! It’s sweet, spicy, and tangy—the best of all worlds! A simple mixture of mayo, Dijon, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire, and a couple of spices creates the most delicious flavor, and it couldn’t be easier to make. I love to use this special burger sauce on just about any sandwich. It’s that good!

Easy Burger Sauce Recipe
What I love best about this burger sauce recipe is how incredibly easy it is to make. In just 5 minutes, I can gather everything from the pantry and fridge—basic staples like mayo, ketchup, mustard, and a few seasonings—and mix it all together into something totally delicious. I almost always have all the ingredients on hand, which means I never have to go without my favorite sauce. It’s creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet and smoky—perfect for burgers, sandwiches, fries, and even dipping veggies. Once you make it, you’ll want to keep a jar in the fridge at all times like I do!
Tips for Beginners
- If using a barbecue sauce with a little less kick, add another ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and ½ teaspoon chili powder for more bite.
- For more texture and a tangy taste, add pickle relish.
- Mix in hot sauce or sriracha if you really like it spicy.
- Use plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter sauce.

Serving Suggestions
I like to make a larger batch so I have it on hand through all of grilling season! I especially love to smear this sauce over a smash burger or a juicy lucy burger. It also tastes great on club sandwiches, too.
Which air tight jars did you use for this sauce and what is their size? Can’t wait to make this sauce! Thanks so much.
We used Weck Tulip Jelly Jars! Hope this helps!
Have you ever seen a burger sauce where Taco sauce or Enchilada sauce is used?
We have not!
Do you add this while burger is on the grill or after on the bun?
Never mind, I just watched the video 🤦🏼♀️
Did you use Miracle Whip or Hellman’s?
We used regular, plain mayonnaise. You can use whichever you like, though!
Can I use the barbecue sauce that is sold anything on the market?
Yes, you can!
I love the recipe
