Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon grated white onion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

Mix the sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, granulated garlic, and black pepper until smooth and evenly combined. Taste the sauce. Use right away, or cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes if you have time. Resting helps the flavor develop. Ideally after resting, taste and adjust. Add a little more hot sauce for tang, more ketchup for sweetness, or more mustard for sharpness.

1 Tablespoon grated white onion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Freshly cracked black pepper

Notes

Mayonnaise: Use a mayo you already enjoy because it is the base of the sauce.
Mustard: Use Dijon for a sharper sauce or yellow mustard for a more classic burger sauce flavor.
White Onion: Grate the onion finely and include the juices for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
No Pickles or Relish: This sauce gets its tang from mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce, ketchup, and onion instead of pickle juice.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before serving.
