Introduction

This irresistible smash burger sauce is a flavor-packed condiment that elevates any burger to the next level. Creamy, tangy, and smoky, it’s simple to make and perfect for burger lovers looking to add an extra punch of taste.

A cheeseburger with two thick beef patties covered by melted bright yellow cheddar cheese forms the base of the burger on the bottom soft bun. Above the patties are several layers including light green pickles, a slice of white onion, and a bright red tomato slice. On top is fresh, shredded dark green lettuce with creamy orange sauce dripping down the sides. The top bun is golden brown and soft. The burger sits on a white marbled surface with a scattering of long golden French fries around it.
