💭 Tips & Notes
- This recipe makes a little more than¾ cup of sauce, which is enough for 4-5 burgers (depending on how much you add).
- I always recommend using a high-quality brand of mayonnaise like Duke's or Hellman's! If you don't have my faves on hand, try to make sure that you use a whole egg may brand.
- My favorite way to use this sauce is to spread it on the bottom bun as well as the patty!
🥡 Storing
Keep your burger sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It is good for the same shelf life as the mayonnaise that you used.

❓ FAQ
Does Burger Sauce Go On Top Or Bottom?
The answer to that is simple- yes. Yes, it goes on the top and, yes, it goes on the bottom. You can put it on one or the other, or you can put it on both! You are the master of your own burger combination!
How Long Can You Keep Homemade Burger Sauce?
You should base this on the expiration date of the mayonnaise that you used in your sauce. Make sure to keep it stored in a sealed container in the fridge!
Does Burger Sauce Have To Be Refrigerated?
Since this sauce has a mayonnaise base, it definitely must be refrigerated! You don't want to keep it at room temperature or it will spoil.
