    Not So Secret Burger Sauce

    Ingredients in Keto Burger Sauce

    ingredients for burger sauce - mayo, ketchup, dijon, sriracha, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, pepper

    Ingredient Notes

    • Mayonnaise: The mayo gives this burger sauce recipe a creamy, silky texture. You can use store-bought, or you can make it from scratch. Check out my Easy Peasy 2-Minute Mayo Recipe.
    • Ketchup: To keep this lower in carbs, look for a natural ketchup, or a reduced sugar ketchup. (This is the one that I use). Alternatively, you can use tomato paste.
    • Worcestershire sauce: Worcestershire adds a nice kick of umami to this burger sauce. You could also use coconut aminos or soy sauce.
    • Garlic: For this recipe, I used fresh garlic, but you can also use dried minced garlic, or garlic powder.
    • Dijon mustard: If you do not have any Dijon mustard on hand, you could also use yellow mustard, sweet hot mustard, or stone ground mustard.
    • Sriracha: This gives the burger sauce a nice kick. If you do not have sriracha, you can substitute chili paste or hot sauce.

    Step by Step Instructions

    STEP 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk all of the ingredients together until well combined. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    Recipe Tips and Variations

    • Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks (be sure to check the expiration dates on the condiments you use.)
    • Make Thousand Island Dressing: Omit the sriracha and add some chopped up dill pickles or dill pickle relish to make a delicious keto Thousand Island dressing.
    • Add onion: This is also delicious with a teaspoon of dried minced onion or ½ teaspoon of onion powder.
    • Add pickles: I love to make this burger sauce recipe with some chopped dill pickles and about a teaspoon of the pickle juice. Think Big Mac sauce - YUM!
    • Add paprika: to add a nice smoky flavor, try adding a little smoked paprika

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a good substitution for ketchup?

    If you do not have ketchup, you can substitute tomato paste in this burger sauce recipe.

    How long do homemade condiments keep in the fridge?

    Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks. However, be sure to check the expiration date on the store-bought condiments you use to make the homemade recipe.

      For mayo haters, Greek yogurt as a sub? I'd love to try this but just can't handle mayo. Wondering if anyone else has tried the substitute.

      I’ve been making fry sauce (we call it) since I was a kid but we never added Worcestershire to it and it was a game changer! Yum!
