Notes
Storing
- Store leftover smashburger sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Make sure to give the sauce a good stir before serving, as the creamy mayo may separate during storage.
- I don’t recommend freezing this sauce as the freezing and thawing can alter the smooth and creamy consistency.
- Adjust the consistency of the sauce to your liking. Stir in some water or milk for a thinner sauce, or mix in more mayo for a thicker sauce.
- Chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. While this is optional, it helps the sauce to thicken and for the flavors to meld together and intensify.
- Make a double batch of this smashburger sauce by simply doubling the ingredients called for in this recipe - great for serving to a crowd at a party or large social gathering.
- Always taste your sauce after mixing the ingredients together. You may find that you want to adjust the flavor by adding some ingredients to suit your preference.
- The sauce will naturally thicken in the fridge. Give it a good stir and add in extra liquid, if needed.
- Choice of sweetener - Sugar helps to balance the sharp and tangy notes of this sauce, but you could also use honey or another preferred sweetener.
- Spice it up - Add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or a touch of hot sauce if you’d like to add a kick of heat to your smashburger sauce.
- Vegan smashburger sauce - Use vegan mayonnaise for a vegan-friendly sauce.
- Lighter version - Use reduced fat mayo for a lighter sauce that won’t be as rich. Plain Greek yogurt can also be used to replace the mayo for a tangy, protein-rich version that’s still lighter than mayo.
- Smoky smashburger sauce - Mix in smoked paprika for a touch of smokiness - perfect with grilled hamburger patties!
