This recipe includes a tasty home-made burger sauce, but there’s no reason you can’t add a sauce of your own too. We like to add a cheeky dash of BBQ sauce – you can really make them your own! Just be sure to adjust the calories to account for any additional ingredients.

Can I use something other than gherkins in this recipe please?

Hi Barbara, you could replace the gherkins in our Cheeseburger nachos with capers, a pickled vegetable of your choice or some burger relish. Alternatively, you can just leave them out. Enjoy the recipe!
