Hot Sauce For Burgers - Heat Them Up!
Thick and juicy, smashed and crispy—however you crave them, burgers (or, for cheese fanatics like myself, cheeseburgers) are a staple of summertime grilling.
Everyone has their favorite kind of burger.
Noted cheeseburger aficionado, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, says “a good bun, fresh meat, and anything but mustard” makes his ideal burger.
Celebrity chefs have even built whole restaurant concepts around burgers.
Bobby’s Burger Palace. That “Bobby” is Bobby Flay.
Gordon Ramsey Burger. Self-explanatory. Ramsey’s incredible Las Vegas location was one of the best burgers ever. Look at this thing!
Regarding hot sauce, burgers are a fantastic addition (as hot sauce is to almost everything!)
Please look at these hot sauces. I find myself using them anytime a burger is on the menu.
How did I decide?
I tried not to repeat styles and included hot sauces that are related to popular burger toppings (mustard, pickles, etc.).
These sauces are listed in alphabetical order by brand name.

Butterfly Bakery of Vermont Maple Wood Smoked Onion Hot Sauce
$9.00Out of stock
This product is currently unavailable
If you want onion flavor without it being overpowering (which I feel onions do), Maple Wood Smoked Onion is your answer. A nice medium heat goes side by side with the smoky onion flavor. This one was good enough for the hit show Hot Ones, and it’ll be great at your next BBQ!
I understand that not everyone loves hot sauce (boo these people), but I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love pickles! Take a hater and give this fantastic hot sauce to them as a gateway into the hot sauce world. This is a nice medium heat, so they’ll get a slight tingle, but a lot of flavor.
CaJohns Wild Mushroom Hot Sauce
Original price was: $9.99.$7.00Current price is: $7.00.Out of stock
This product is currently unavailable
Ah, mushrooms. You either love them or hate them. Regardless of your preference, there’s no denying that Wild Mushroom from CaJohns is a blast of umami flavor, providing a unique twist on a hot sauce that is perfect for a burger.
The hot sauce featured in this list’s main photo is also my absolute favorite hot sauce of all time, so I could put this on any of the Best Of Lists I’ve created. This one has completely negated any need for ketchup on a burger. This ain’t ketchup, or close to it. It’s a cayenne, chile de arbol, and Cajun-spiced hot sauce with some honey and brown sugar for sweetness that is an absolute must. Read all the 5-star reviews; this one is legit.
Earthquake Spices Death By Garlic Roasted Hot Sauce
$9.99Out of stock
This product is currently unavailable
Another “Death By” sauce, this time from Earthquake Spices. Garlic goes with everything, so a garlic hot sauce was definitely going to make its way onto this list. My favorite hot sauce for burgers goes to Earthquake Spices’ Death By Garlic—Roasted because of… well…the roasted garlic! The habanero pepper base gives it nice heat and balances well with the rest of the ingredients.
Throw your old boring yellow mustard to the side and give your guests this ZestFest award-winning mustard-based hot sauce. Unleash a bold duality: the incendiary warmth of black mustard perfectly balances the velvety, smoldering depths of black cardamom, forging a complex and hauntingly memorable finish.
Karma Sauce Extreme Smokey Karma Hot Sauce
Original price was: $11.99.$6.00Current price is: $6.00.In stock
Unsurprisingly, Karma Sauce hit it out of the park with this one. Upon entering your mouth, you experience three distinct sensations. First, the sweetness comes from the butternut squash, orange peel, and honey; next, the chipotle’s smoky flavor (without overpowering). Lastly, the heat creeps in. You think it’ll take you over the edge, but it doesn’t. BBQ and smoke go together, and burgers, too.
SAVIR Foods Sassy Texan Hot Sauce
Original price was: $9.99.$5.00Current price is: $5.00.Out of stock
This product is currently unavailable
You don’t have to be a Texan to enjoy this! This sassy and tangy sauce is your best bet if you are (or feel) vegan, and a portobello mushroom is your preferred patty. Did you know that portobellos are just the grown-up version of cremini mushrooms? Underutilized and under-appreciated peppers, chiletepin and limo, are the stars in this one, but the addition of avocado oil and dates makes this one truly unique.
Torchbearer Sauces Headless Horseradish Hot Sauce
$13.99Out of stock
This product is currently unavailable
Horseradish lovers will love this one. The Ghost Peppers immediately give you intense heat, while the horseradish will hit you on the backend. If you live in the North and are a winter griller, spread some of this on your burger, and you’ll warm up quickly!
