Description

This homemade In N Out burger sauce recipe is a creamy, tangy condiment that transforms ordinary burgers into extraordinary meals. It’s an easy-to-make secret sauce perfected by home cooks, ideal for busy families and burger enthusiasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (ensure vegetable oil-based for that authentic creamy base)
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish (for a healthier sauce, choose a sugar-free relish)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (a crucial ingredient for a subtle tang)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt (to taste, fine sea salt works best)
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all your listed items, measuring them out precisely. (Using a small prep bowl for spices helps keep the kitchen organized.)
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, and white vinegar until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored, forming a creamy, light orange base.
  3. Add Dry Spices: Stir in the granulated sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, ensuring a consistent flavor throughout.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your homemade burger sauce with a clean spoon. Adjust the salt, pepper, or add a tiny extra pinch of sugar or vinegar as needed to hit your ideal flavor balance. (If missing tang, a tiny splash more white vinegar or pickle juice will brighten it. If too thin, add more mayonnaise, as it will also thicken slightly as it chills.)
  5. Chill for Flavor: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate your sauce for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2 hours). This resting period is crucial for flavors to meld and deepen. (The finished sauce should be a creamy, light orange-pink with visible flecks of relish, thick enough to cling beautifully to a spoon. For a faster chill, place the bowl in an ice bath for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.)

Notes

For a healthier sauce, choose sugar-free relish or light mayonnaise. If out of sweet relish, regular relish works, or pickle juice can substitute white vinegar. Optimal freshness comes from good-quality mayonnaise and proper chilling allows flavors to meld and deepen for best taste.
