Tips for Sauce Success

  1. Flavor Melds Over Time: Let the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors really pop. Overnight? Even better.
  2. Pick Your Relish: Sweet pickle relish is key here, but if you want a tangier version, swap in dill relish. Just don’t come for us if it’s not quite “Big Mac enough.”
  3. Paprika Perfection: For a smoky twist, try smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
  4. Double It Up: This recipe makes enough for a small crowd, but if you’re hosting a burger night, double (or triple!) the batch.
  5. Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Trust us, it won’t last that long.
