1 tsp Black pepper

Notes

Mayo: Whole egg mayo, like Hellman or S&W, tastes smoother. But any mayo will do—even Kewpie!
Mustard: Don’t use hot English mustard—it’s spicy! Any smooth mustard works fine.
Sweet Gherkins: These are just gherkins with a bit more sugar. Regular gherkins are good too.
Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is best, but any clear vinegar works. If you’re using regular white vinegar, use a little less—it’s stronger.
Storage: Your sauce should last as long as you’re mayo does.

How Long Does Homemade Burger Sauce Last?

So, you’ve made your own burger sauce – yum! But how long can you keep it around? It’s simple! Mix up mayo, ketchup, relish, mustard, Sriracha, pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Stick it in the fridge in a sealed container, and it’ll stay tasty for up to a week.

How Do You Store Burger Sauce?

Storing your burger sauce is easy! Just pop it in a sealed container in the fridge, and it’ll stay fresh for up to a week.

Can You Freeze Burger Sauce?

Freezing sauces is usually fine, but not for ones with mayo or homemade vinaigrette. They won’t thaw right, so they’ll lose their flavor and texture. But no worries, just make a new batch when you need it!

How Do You Thicken Burger Sauce?

If your sauce is too thin, no sweat! Grab some flour – it’s like magic for thickening sauces. Mix equal parts flour and water to make a slurry, or blend softened butter and flour for a beurre manie. These tricks work great for creamy sauces, like steak sauce.
