5 Awesome Burger Sauces for Summer Grilling

5 awesome burger sauce recipes by Zully Hernandez for www.foodiezoolee.com

I’ve got not one, not two, but 5 awesome burger sauces for you to try on your burgers this summer. I’ve put together copycat recipes for the most craved burgers as well as one of my own.

Sauces for burgers

If you’ve ever had a burger at a restaurant – fancy or casual, we can all agree they usually have a secret sauce that we just find hard to recreate at home. I’ve posted several copycat recipes on the blog. Trying to recreate the taste of something I loved at a restaurant at home is actually one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen. In fact, my copycat recipe for Japanese white sauce is one the highest viewed recipes each month here.

It’s funny how burgers can have so many different toppings and sauces to make them different. If you’re just having some ketchup or mustard and a slice of yellow cheese on your burger, you are not doing the most! There are many ways to transform your burger and it isn’t difficult. I promise, you just need a few fresh ingredients and condiments and you can get a nice sauce that’ll have your summer barbecue guests begging for more.

It’s getting close to the summer season and that means lots of grilling and burgers. I really think giving yourself options with different burger sauce recipes will take your summer grilling to the next level! This is true whether you follow my tips for making your own burger patties or choose to grill up store-bought patties. And if you are looking for a great Elk Burger recipe, I recommend this one by Erin of State of Dinner.
