FAQ's

Things to know

• Make this creamy sauce ahead in a storage container for up to a week in the fridge.
• Before you use your sauce, give it a good stir to make sure it hasn't settled.
• If you don't have smoked paprika on hand, you can use regular paprika instead.

Variations

• A splash of Tabasco sauce or Sriracha sauce adds a nice zing to the burger sauce!
• For a little bit of sweetness, try adding a teaspoon or two of honey.
• If you want a creamier sauce, add some sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Storage

Refrigerate - Store the Smashburger sauce in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Freeze - I do not recommend freezing this sauce as mayonnaise does not freeze well.
