Special Burger Sauce Recipe
Elevate your burgers with this easy home-made Special Burger Sauce. Perfectly balanced flavors, not overly sweet and so darn tasty!
This sauce reminds me a lot of the sauce used in big mac burgers. It’s got a similar flavor but is obviously much better because you use better ingredients. I like how tangy and thick it is and the little crunch from the chopped pickles is nice too. It’s a great sauce for dipping fries into but it takes your burger game to the next level.
By the way, if you’re looking for some other delicious sauce, my home made Whole-Egg Mayo is a delicious one and so is my Chipotle Mayo and Tartar Sauce recipe!
Ways to use Special Burger Sauce!
