Notes

✅ Important Recipe Notes:
  • Chill Before Serving: While you can use it immediately, refrigerating the sauce for at least 15–20 minutes allows the flavors to blend and deepen for a richer taste.
  • Adjust Sweetness: For a sweeter flavor (like many fast-food sauces), add a little more relish or sugar to taste.
  • Spicy Option: Want some heat? Add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper for a spicier version of Krabby Patty Sauce.
  • Customizable: Feel free to experiment! Swap regular mustard for Dijon or honey mustard for different flavor profiles.
  • Serving Ideas: Besides burgers, this sauce is fantastic on sandwiches, as a dip for fries or nuggets, or even drizzled over grilled veggies.
  • Vegan Friendly: Use vegan mayonnaise and coconut aminos instead of Worcestershire for a fully plant-based version.
