Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, and 2 tablespoons of pickle relish. Use a whisk to mix these ingredients vigorously for about 1 minute until they're well blended and creamy.
  2. Next, sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Mix everything together thoroughly for another minute until all flavors are combined.
  3. Taste the sauce and give it a little stir to incorporate any adjustments needed. If you want more tanginess or sweetness, feel free to add extra pickle relish or yellow mustard.

  5. Once ready, serve your Smash Burger Sauce generously over freshly grilled burgers, or use it as a tasty dip for fries.
