The Little Bowl That Makes Burger Night

A burger is just a burger until you spoon something creamy and tangy over it. Mayo, ketchup, a little mustard or pickle relish, and suddenly the patties you cooked on a Tuesday taste like somebody went to trouble.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the grill is already hot and dinner needs one more thing, or when the kids want fries and there's nothing to dip them in.

Every recipe here is a bowl and a spoon. Copycat In-N-Out Burger Sauce and Big Mac Sauce for the drive-thru taste, Fry Sauce with pickle brine, Bourbon Smokehouse Burger Sauce for cookouts, and Cheeseburger Secret Sauce with a spoonful of Dijon.

Quick Tips

1
Chill it 30 minutes
Let the sauce sit in the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving so the relish, vinegar, and mayo taste like one thing instead of three.
2
Use full-fat mayo
Light mayo thins out once you add ketchup and pickle juice. A full cup of regular mayo keeps the sauce thick enough to stay on the bun.
3
Chop the pickles fine
Cut relish or pickles down to about 1/8 inch so the sauce spreads smooth and doesn't push the toppings off the patty.
4
Taste before the salt
Ketchup, relish, and pickle brine all bring salt. Stir, taste, then add salt a pinch at a time.
