Is it made from ketchup and mayo?
A classic burger sauce is often made from a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, with a few added secret ingredients thrown in, in the form of herbs and spices. My recipe however, has much more complex flavors than this! A good burger should be dressed with the finest ingredients-the job of the sauce is to let the flavors of the burger shine through! Ditch the store bough, stop mixing ketchup and mayo, and try this sauce!
What is the best burger sauce made of?
The ingredients in my sauce are all pantry staples, so it shouldn’t be hard to whip up a batch of this relatively easily. The ingredients you will need are:
- mayonnaise
- dijon mustard
- Blues Hog BBQ sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
- salt
- pepper
- crushed red pepper
Is burger sauce healthy?
Ok, this isn’t the most healthy thing you will ever eat, but the beauty of this sauce is that it is strong in flavor so you won’t need a tonne to get the benefit! This recipe will make around sixteen servings and each serving is less than sixty calories. I won’t tell anyone if you dip your fries in it too!
Top tips for making the best burger sauce
- Use a good quality mayonnaise and barbecue sauce.
- The made sauce will keep in the fridge in a airtight glass jar for 2 months – it’s great to make in big batches!
