How To Make Copycat Big Macs at Home
Miracle Whip Big Mac Special Sauce
The secret to our copycat Big Mac is all about using Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise for the special sauce. Start the copycat Big Mac by making the special sauce. In a small mixing bowl combine Miracle Whip (1/2 cup), French dressing (1 tbsp), pickle relish (2 tbsp), minced onion (2 tbsp) sugar, (1 tsp) and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients and then set aside
Next, weigh the ground beef into 2 ounce portions and the press the beef into 4 to 5 inch patties.
Lightly toast the sesame seed buns (we use Arnold’s) on a preheated griddle. You’ll use a bottom sliced bun for the middle layer of the sandwich. Also known as the club layer. So as not waste any buns, I also sliced the top of the extra bun to make another middle layer for the burgers. No one’s going to know.
Put the burger patties on the hot grill and season with salt and pepper. let the copycat big mac burgers cook for 2 minutes and then flip them over. Cook the big mac copycat burgers for another 2 minutes and then assemble the sandwiches.
