Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, add ½ cup of mayonnaise, ¼ cup of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard. Use a spatula to thoroughly mix these ingredients together for about 30 seconds, ensuring a smooth and creamy base.
Next, incorporate 2 tablespoons of pickle relish, 1 teaspoon of paprika, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of onion powder into your sauce mixture. Stir well for another 30 seconds or until all the flavors are evenly distributed.
If you enjoy a hint of heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the mix based on your taste preference. Stir the sauce again for about 15 seconds.
Cover your bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce to an airtight container. Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
After chilling, give your sauce a final stir to remix any settled ingredients. Now, your creamy Smash Burger Sauce is ready to be drizzled over burgers.
