If you dig the sauce on Big Macs or the “special sauce” that high-end sandwich joints slather on their burgers, you are going to LOVE this burger sauce!

While we hardly ever eat them, we love a Big Mac every now and then, and we're pretty sure it’s because of that oh-so-fabulous burger sauce that is slathered on them. We're a big-time burgers and fries fan, and have been known to order one even at the nicest of restaurants in lieu of a “fancier” meal.

Spoiler alert: we're not fancy, and we're certainly not a fancy eater.

Over the last few years, we've noticed that most nice restaurants and high-end burger joints have their own “special sauce” that they use on burgers. They tend to taste similar, and we're totally addicted. So when we made burgers on Saturday for watching the hockey game, you better believe we were going to whip up a batch of from-scratch burger sauce!

This is incredibly straightforward to whip up, and there’s a 98% chance you already have all of the ingredients you need sitting in your refrigerator and pantry. Only six ingredients, one small bowl and a whisk is all you need to get this ready.

It’s the reliable complement to any burger, and we even love using it to dip our fries!

Mmmm bacon cheeseburger with that magical burger sauce :)

Stay tuned tomorrow – we're going to be sharing an absolute killer cheeseburger recipe (and it doesn’t include the grill!).
