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:

Mayonnaise This provides the creamy, rich base for the sauce. Real mayonnaise (like Hellmann’s or Duke’s) offers the best flavor and thickness.
Sriracha Adds a touch of heat and a hint of sweetness. It cuts through the richness of the mayo without being overwhelmingly spicy.
Soy Sauce This is the secret weapon that adds umami (savory depth) and saltiness, giving the sauce that "restaurant quality" taste.
Garlic Powder Ensures a punchy savory flavor that distributes evenly throughout the sauce without the bite of raw garlic.

How it Make the Everything Sauce

Combine Ingredients In a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, and garlic powder.
Whisk Thoroughly Use a small whisk or a fork to mix the ingredients vigorously. Ensure the Sriracha and soy sauce are fully incorporated into the mayonnaise so there are no streaks.
Rest (Optional but Recommended) If you have time, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. This allows the garlic powder to rehydrate and the flavors to meld together.
Serve or Store Serve immediately with your favorite dippables, or transfer to an airtight container for storage.

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!

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.

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!
