The Best Everything Sauce

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Meet your new go-to condiment: Everything Sauce! This incredibly versatile, 4-ingredient sauce comes together in just 5 minutes, making it the ultimate quick fix for any meal. While it started as a perfect companion for hamburgers, its rich, customizable flavor — built on a base of mayo, Sriracha, soy sauce, and garlic powder — quickly made it a family favorite for everything from tacos and turkey burgers to chicken tenders and veggie dips. Get ready to elevate every bite with this thick, flavorful, and effortlessly adaptable sauce.

Why You'll Love This "Magic" Sauce

  • Better Than "Secret Sauce": It's creamy, savory, and has a tiny kick of heat. It tastes like the "special sauce" at a gourmet burger joint.
  • Uses Pantry Staples: You probably have all 4 ingredients in your fridge right now. No special shopping trip needed.
  • The Ultimate Dip: It’s not just for burgers! It’s the perfect dipping sauce for French fries, chicken tenders, and roasted veggies.

What You WIll Need:

  • 1 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon of Sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon of garlic powder

The ingredients

I have usually added mayonnaise to this recipe. I have not tried mayonnaise such as Miracle Whip, so I cannot say that this would work or not. The Sriracha can be substituted with your favorite hot sauce. Sriracha is available at most grocery stores and some brands produce a vegan version. I substituted it once with tabasco and it came out fine. The soy sauce and garlic powder are pretty standard.

Uses for everything sauce

My everything sauce is so versatile. I originally used it on burgers but then it morphed into so much from there. My son and daughter used it to dip chicken in it. Then we used it with the two ingredient turkey burger. Soft tacos made from the pork from the slow roasted pork shoulder, spiced pork, and we started using it as a dip for chips and pretzels! Another great condiment is my thousand island sauce.

I hope you enjoy my everything sauce as much as we do!

FAQ

Can I substitute Miracle Whip for mayonnaise?

I haven’t tested Miracle Whip in this recipe, but its sweetness and tang may change the flavor. Traditional mayo works best for a balanced taste.

What if I don’t have Sriracha?

You can substitute any hot sauce you like. The heat level and flavor may vary, but it still makes a great dipping or burgers.

Is this sauce spicy?

It has a mild kick from the Sriracha, but you can easily adjust the spice level by adding more or less to suit your preference.

How long does Everything Sauce last in the fridge?

Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Give it a quick stir before each use. It usually gets used up within a week at my house!

What are the best ways to use this sauce?

Try it on burgers, tacos, turkey burgers, as a dip for chicken tenders, veggies, chips, or even over rice bowls—it works on just about everything!
