Name: Special Sauce
Total time: PLACEHOLDER
Ingredients: 1/2 cup ketchup; 1/2 cup vegetable oil or canola oil; 1/4 cup white wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 teaspoon grated onion; 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or more to taste); 1 cup mayonnaise; 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish , drained well

Why This Recipe Works

Equal parts ketchup and vegetable oil, spiked with white vinegar, formed the base of our Special Sauce recipe. The unusual touch of Tabasco sauce balanced the sweetness with a little heat. Adding mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish created a natural topping for hamburgers.

Before You Begin

Sweet pickle relish is the secret to our "special" sauce, which is a natural topping for sandwiches or our Ultimate Hamburger. Be sure to drain the pickle relish in a mesh sieve so that the sauce is not too thin.
