Our zesty homemade hamburger spread is a flavorful sauce that’s easy for a healthy family meal in minutes. This secret sauce recipe was made in a matter of minutes because the pantry was low on spices and the fridge nearly empty due to my long work days at the store.

Homemade Secret HAMBURGER SAUCE
What’s the difference with this zesty hamburger spread verses Thousand Island?
The two share a lot of similarities in ingredients and color, but they’re not exactly the same. Burger sauce is really just a mix of condiments like mayo, mustard, ketchup, and relish with a few extra flavorings thrown in. Thousand Island is a bit more complicated. It’s mayo-based and contains ketchup and relish, but traditional recipes also contain ingredients like hard-boiled egg, onion, and some sort of acid like lemon or vinegar
