A secret we are sure glad to uncover!

Have you ever asked yourself, what makes McDonald’s Tasty Big Mac Burger so…special? Is it the patty? buns? or the crunchy vegetables? Maybe it’s about all of them, and maybe it’s about none! But the one thing I discovered, is that their secret Big Mac Sauce is a whole force of flavors in itself!

This Copycat Big Mac Sauce recipe is just the right kick you need for your homemade burgers! No more mid-night crawls to your favorite fast food joints, you have got everything you need right here!


Meet McDonald’s Big Mac Burger!

Your favorite burger was created by Jim Delligatti. The famous burger initially had different names: the Aristocrat, which was a bit difficult to pronounce and understand, and Blue Ribbon Burger.

Its official name, Big Mac, was created by an advertising secretary who worked at McDonald’s corporate headquarters.

Fast forward to this day, McDonald’s Big Mac is insanely popular all over the world!


A Perfect Balance of Sweet Tanginess!

The kind of sauce you can use in any food!

Serve It Right!

Let me tell you something… The possibility of which you can put this Copycat McDonald’s Special Big Mac Sauce to use are literally endless!

Now the obvious option would be slathering it on any kind of burger! Homemade burgers would taste wonderfully with this rich creamy sauce! Oh! You might also want to give my other burger sauce recipe a try! Both are incredibly delicious!

You probably know by now that I like shaking things up a bit! So, why not dip the secret Mac sauce in some crunchy KFC Copycat Baked Potato Wedges or regular fries.

You might also consider using it as a dipping sauce for your veggies! My kids love to dip just about anything in sauce! It’s a great way to have the kids eat their veggies!

Finally, I simply wouldn’t dare forget a burger’s favorite companion! My homemade coleslaw recipe is the ultimate refreshing kick of flavors any burger needs!


How to Store The Special Big Mac Sauce

Trust my words, a taste of this special Mac Sauce would teach you that making plenty of this sauce is the only acceptable option! So, for future reference, here’s how to serve, store, and freeze your sauce!

To serve: Although you can serve this sauce immediately, it is best to refrigerate it for a couple of hours or overnight. But pay attention! Don’t keep it at room temperature for more than a couple of hours.

To store: Place the sauce in an airtight container, or a glass jar, and refrigerate it for about a week.

To freeze: I don’t necessarily recommend freezing the sauce, because you can simply make it anytime! You can literally whip it out in a couple of minutes!


So Easy…So Good!

While You Are It…Make a Big Mac Burger!

There is really no right and wrong way to making a burger! It is all about your unique preferences! But just in case, here’s how to make the tastiest Big Mac Burger with your homemade sauce!

Season lean ground beef with salt and pepper, then form them into thin patties.

For this burger, you will want to use sesame seeds buns. Keep in mind that you will need twice the amount of bottom buns as you do for top buns. This burger offers twice the amount of love with 2 beef patties and a 3-piece sesame seeds buns.


As for the vegetables, use finely shredded iceberg lettuce, dill pickle slices, and minced white onions. These options might also change according to your preferences!

You will also need processed American cheese. And for all the cheese lovers, use as many cheese slices as your heart desires! There is no such thing as too much cheese!

Finally, assemble your burger according to this sequence: Bottom bun, Big Mac sauce, cheese, patty, bottom bun, sauce, onion, lettuce, pickle, patty, and top bun.


A Burger Like No Other!

This Big Mac sauce is best slathered on your choice of burgers, or used as a dip from your fries, onion rings, or wedges!

Tips For a Perfect Big Mac Sauce!

Tip 1: I think this sauce is best used if chilled. Pop it in the fridge for a few hours, or better yet overnight, and allow all the ingredients to meld together.

Tip 2: You can use this sauce to marinate your chicken breasts and thighs. Simply marinate the chicken for a few hours, then bake or grill your protein.

Tip 3: Although some recipes call for French Dressing, I don’t necessarily recommend it. Some might think it enhances the overall taste, but I think its overpowering.


Frequently Asked Questions
