Hey Greg! What brand mayo do you use? I've tried a couple and it's not quite the same, it does improve with time though. Thanks.
Is there a UK equivalent of sweet relish?
@@shaunb813 the closest I could find here in Australia is gherkin relish made by masterfoods...
@@mattl9070 I use Best Foods, which in other parts of the country is Helman's. Great question!
@@shaunb813 I found this online, www.britishcornershop.co.uk/heinz-sweet-relish
I've made your original Big Mac copy cat many times, and the one thing I've found to make it even more authentic tasting (and what McDonald's actually uses) is rehydrating dehydrated onions, and using those instead of fresh onions. They actually go well on a lot of burgers, and have a different more intense flavour. Of course I love fresh onion on better burgers, but for a Big Mac rehydrated work perfectly. Give it a try if you haven't before, it gives burgers more of a "Fast Food" flavour :).
I do this with my White Castle copycat. I'll give this a try.
When can we see that video!!!
As an ex MC employee. About the rehydrated onions it's very true and sauce goes on top not on the bottom helps people get addicted xD
McD's original seasoning for their burgers also gives them their classic flavor. 4 Tbls of Salt, 2 Tbls of Accent, 1 tsp black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder; mixed up real good, then sprinkled generously on the patties. I agree with the rehydrated onions and sauce being on top too.
Also, put those rehydrated onions on the actual burger after flipping while it is still cooking and let them absorb a bit of the burger's juices. McDonald's was my first job and that's what we did.
Already had burgers planned for dinner tonight on the blackstone. After watching with my wife we now have Big Mac's planned for dinner tonight.
Came from Guga. As a huge burger maniac, I am happy he shared this
Thanks, I appreciate the effort to re-create a iconic burger rather than trying to elevate it into something it just isn't.
Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun, you nailed it👍
My uncle won me a cricket poster when I was a kid for saying that. You only had a few seconds to say it. Us kids thought he was amazing lol.
Greg, one of their main "secret" ingredients is Turmeric powder. Give it a puff and all a sudden it tastes more like that classic mac sauce
How much would you use in the recipe Greg has posted? 1/2 teaspoon? More? Less?
@@mattl9070 for that amount of sauce, "a puff" from a bottle, or a pinch would do, which I guess would be about a 1/4 teaspoon
@@daniel1c oh okay, thanks!
That really was a tip that makes a difference, thanks!
they also use ketchup in the sauce.
Guga sent me. Have big hopes! :)
Killer looking burger Greg can’t beat a homemade classic
Nice reproduction! I had a Big Mac several years ago after not having ome for a long time. They are no where near what they were in the 70's. I still remember the jingle! Yeah, I am that old...😳
2 all beef patties. Lol. I ate my first big macs free by winning them saying that phrase
mickeys is just like all big-business- they are good at cutting costs and cheaping out on their products. look at what kraft, nestleys and hersheys have done to the brands they've acquired....
Dear Greg, I tried your recipe a few times and I've been satisfied with it. But I recommend you to use dehydrated onions instead of fresh ones (at least that is what they use at McDonald's here in Germany ). In order to get even closer to the original I freeze those patties before I'm putting them on the griddle 😊
We used dehydrated in the US when I was a teenager.
Going to give this a try over the weekend. Thanks Greg, cheers!
That looks great and I bet it tastes much better! I will have to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Thanks Greg - I grew up on the Big Mac through the 70's.
If I wanted "Surf & Turf"...
I'd get a Big Mac and a Fillet of Fish. Oh, yeah!
looks decent. But for the onions, take minced onion from the seasoning isle, pour some into a cup and cover them in water and let them sit overnight. That will give you the Mcdonalds onions. Also, use different pickles. Thin burger pickles from Walmart are closer to to Mcdonalds pickles than Dill
Great job, looked perfect Greg.
4:30 with that music playing, I'm ready to "American Pie" that thing! Jimbo!
Thank you so much for sharing and a great Video as always 👍👍👍
Thanks for the vid and recipe!
Awesome! Gotta try this one!
Thanks!! Keep up the good work!
I’ve never had a Big Mac like that! Looks delicious!
Excellent man I’m glad you have your own burger channel! You’ve been a big inspiration for me from the beginning of ballistic bbq - keep it real :)
Looks awesome.
One of the few Big Mac videos to get the sauce, patty size, AND the bun RIGHT! You just earned a like and a new sub!
Thanks for the sub! I try and get these "copycats" as close as possible to the real-deal. I appreciate your support!
i like to use the briosche buns for my homie-macs
Great video mate
That’s a badass burger. Definitely something I want to eat
I discovered Ballistic BBQ several years ago when I did a Google search on a homemade Big Mac and found your video. The burger videos were always my favorite, so I was extremely pumped when I saw you were starting a new channel devoted to these recreations.
Thank you Mike! This will be a fun project for me. Cheers!
Hi from Argentina! Great video!
Japanese mayo.... nice plug on a certain other San Diego cooking show lol. You are way better🖒🖒. Nice vid
I watch Sam too I think he makes some good stuff. But I like Greg and his vids a lot more. And if you want to talk bbq, Sam doesn't stand a chance
@NotSnarl Sam the cooking old guy who dyes his hear, is also an incredible unlikeable asshole. I prefer Gregs' way more friendly aproach.
@NotSnarl Sam talks too much without saying a lot...Greg is way more informative and enjoyable.
There is no comparison. If for no other reason, Sam couldn’t put a RUclips video up by himself if his life depended on it. He’s a talking head. That’s not a shot at Sam, I’m sure he would tell you the same thing.
In contrast Greg is running five cameras, does all his own editing, and actually researches his copy cats instead of just using the name brand for clicks and then whipping it out with whatever is in his fridge.
I personally don’t have anything against Sam but from the perspective of a RUclipsr, this is a little like comparing Britney Spears with Bob Dylan. There’s no doubt Sams way grew his channel faster than the rest of us, so good for him. It’s just not in the same ballpark as what Greg does. Greg is the total package...and a heck of a great guy too.
That's a great response Justin. I'm a big fan of yours also. Troy, Russ Greg, Malcome all you guys are bad ass. I've learned everything I know from you guys. Keep up the good work🖒🖒. Off topic but do you have any plans with the masterbuilt 560?
Thanks for the video, it looks delicious. Just fun to watch and satisfying (: subscribing
So cool!
SWEET! I gotta try this!!! Thanks, sir!!! Just a quick look at your vids list and watching this for my first of your vids, this looks like you could have one of my fave cooking channels on here.
Burger sunday ❤️ love you man
Awesome lookin Big Mac Greg!
im so going to do this!! thanks man just got my blackstone for Xmass
Thank you🍔🍟 looks very tasty😊
I really like this remake, thanks Greg
EXCELLENT!!!
Really nice! Wish the big Macs looked like that now!
Wow this look so delicious 😋👍
Greg, Sir ! You are the Master of Burgers for me and honestly i do not watch any other channel than yours for Burgers. Keep on going !
Your copycats are definitely the best, Greg.
hands down the best!
Thank you Justin!
Gotta try this one, thanks for the video. New subscriber, I like your straight forward, no frills presentations. So many gimmicks out there these days. Keep up the good work!
As a kid my first job was a cook at mcdonalds, there is only one layer of onions and we ran out of sauce all the time, we then just substituted with 1000 island salad dressing, them telling me it was the same thing just a little runnier
That's one of the things I love about your copycats as that you do always keep it as true as possible and I appreciate that Greg. A fine looking burger man!
Awhile back i came across the big mac sauce recipe that was included in the 1968-1969 McDonald's managers handbook. It was used as an emergency back up recipe in case a particular restaurant ran out of sauce it consists of:
1/4 cup miracle whip
1/4 cup mayo
2 1/2 Tablespoons wishbone deluxe French dressing
1/2 Tablespooon Heinz sweet relish
1 Tablespoon Vlasic dill relish
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon ketchup
1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix well then zap in microwave for 25 seconds then mix well again, let it chill in fridge for a couple hours. You should make this recipe and compare it to your own.
Love this channel ur gonna grow
I worked at australian maccas for like 5 years or so from 14 on, and u made it pretty authentic, u even put the sauce on the right buns which i thought was pretty good
New sub! Great!
I love most food but burgers are my absolute favorite to eat. No matter the occasion you can build up or down a burger for the occasion.
This is probably the best looking big mac ive seen on RUclips
Came here from guga!! Love burgers and looking forward to checking out your content!
great burger good luck on the new channel
Probably the best Big Mac clone yet. We've talked about this, it isn't the best burger by far, but man am I going trough the kitchen looking for the ingredients right now.
Came from Guga Foods, great video! Subscribed
Love the T-shirt.👍🏿
This is the best Big Mac I've ever eaten! Highly recommended.
I love your burgers!! !
Regards from Germany 🍔
Love the new channel. You should try making your own buns for some of these recipes.
Wow, that was really cool. I never thought I could make a Big Mac - now I know how to do it. I may try this one myself :) So glad Baby Back Maniac showed us this new channel. Big thumbs up 👍
even if you screw up on something- its still bound to be awesome
Great video and I'm sure your version or "copy" of the Big Mac was way better than anything McDonald's could ever put together!!
There is a reason you started this channel and damn it!!! This is it;).....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gotta say. Props on using the right size patty and actually building it right. (1.6 oz patties and 1 slice of cheese) I've seen too many ppl make a "big mac" and use 2 slices of cheese or bigger patties bc it will be better that way.
Definitely passes the look test! Agreed with the comment below that the real thing uses dehydrated onions. See my comment on your Travis Scott Burger. Great cook, though. I'm sure yours tops the real thing for taste!
OMG, wow. Yours looks way better. Thanks, I am going to try it with the wife. It would be nice to see it beside a Big Mac to see how better yours looks like. Thanks and keep up the great vids. Stay safe and healthy
Greg I agree ,yours is the most authentic(Guga went crazy on his)I like that u said the "old Mcdonald's"which was so much better.I'm old enough to remember 15cent burgers and 19 cent cheese burgers.
actually macdonalds were 10 cents until about 1963. when they went up to 15 cents, our world stood still. candy bars had just doubled in price- everything was going to hell. twinkies were now 12 cents OMG!!
Love your videos and have been a fan since the beginning! Would love to see a copycat of the discontinued ARCH DELUXE that McDonalds had in the 90's. I remember them fondly when I was a kid! Thank you!!!
I just had a Big Mac but yours looks much better. I do love their “secret sauce”.
Clicked on the vid and wasn't expecting the mustache hahaha
Looks great! I’ll have to try it!
Please do a 5 guys!!
Great burger video as always Greg! Would still love to see your take on a Cheeseburger from Au Cheval. Greetings from Denmark
That's a good looking big Mac 😋
Yeah it's time to start making my fast food favs at home no more drive thrus
The absolute Classic
Looking good!! Nothing beats homemade 👍did up one myself, used waygu, towered over the original lol...thanks for sharing brother, have a great one, stay safe!👍
How is the whole comment section lightweights not noticing the Founders 11 percenter at the end, thats the big boy beer
Hey Greg. Love both channels! You may still have Hamburger Hamlets in CA but I doubt it. I worked at one on the East coast. They had a cajun turkey burger that was pretty damn good. Would love to see you recreate it.
Goddamnit Guga, this is just Ballistic BBQ with an evil mustache! The recipe is the same as the one he made like 10 yrs ago. Im calling shenanigans!
Any way to make it so the burgers don't shrink up on me? That seems to happen quite a bit :/
Use a lower fat content burger like 93/7. I use that but add my own oil. Try a tablespoon full of Olive oil and a tablespoon full of water mixed in with the meat then fry, they stay moist and don't shrink so much. This works for venison too. More or less oil and water your call.
The Big Mac is such a unique burger. It has never been my favorite, but it is definitely a classic piece of Americana and I can't think of another burger like it anywhere but McDonald's. Yours looked pretty authentic! 👉💨
a cold mac can turn you off to them. a mac hot off the grill is one of life's greatest pleasures- but i like it with in-n-out's lemonade!
Not 1 dislike, lol good job, looks like an actual Big Mac!!! i used to eat them like fig newton sleeves!
best burger page in the world.
that burger is looking good
GoodBye Maccy D, Hello Ballistic Burgers!
The Best!!
I never realized until this video that the Big Mac was less than a quarter pounder. I've eaten a ton in my day and always thought they were a quarter pounder. But I loved them
I make these once a week. Very tempting to use bigger patties but do not do that. This is perfect as is. Good job!
they actually make bigger buns to use with those bigger patties so you can make a 'giant' mac. enjoy!
You need to start adding ground liver to your burgers, soak in water first then process it. Alot of places use organ meat in their pre made burgers. You'll understand once you make and try it.
hence those fleshy smooth bits on the McDonald's burgers.. ur absolutely right.. and that's how they make their money, selling you half organs half beef.
@@autumnlegend287 To be fair I think we shouldn't waist very much when it comes to animals as long as its fit for consumption. But places should be a bit more transparent in whats actually in their products.
@@LukeRT transparency is bad for profit...
Organ meat is packed with nutrients
This might be better. Great burger as always!
Loved the BBQ channel. Loving this burger channel. Amazing.
How about a triple Kingburger from Fatburger?
Cheers!
I love the idea of this channel and it was recommended by Guga so here I am!! One request can you do a video on how you would make a basic burger...what meat, buns, how would you cook it, any simple condiments or toppings ....just a good basic burger....I would appreciate that as a starting place
there are many different ways to make even a basic burger- right down to what kind of meat and what amount of fat, and what types of grease to use on your griddle. if you can imagine this video without adding the sauce and condiments- you would have a pretty good idea of the basics involved in creating a good burger.
I'm sure your version is better. Big Mac is good mix flavors, using fresh ingredients kick up notch
Will dill relish instead of sweet relish make a difference? I only buy dill relish, and I don’t want to buy a jar of sweet relish just for a couple of teaspoon fulls.
Mr. Greg, got a suggestion. Can you make a toston burger with fried cheese? Those are popular here in Miami. Thank you.
Best bicmac replica video I watched
the pickle goes on top of the burger... damn it.. it makes a big difference to the taste imo
Great lookin burger Greg. I'm not a big fan of the Big Mac only because of the extra bread but when I go to McDonald's I do get the double quarter pounder with Big Mac sauce. Great video brother keep up the great work.
that makes no sense- the QP buns are way bigger than all 3 pieces of the big mac buns. youre eating more bread (and a lot more fat) with the double QP
Suggestion ...
Dairy queen flamethrower
Does DQ actually make good tasting fast food? I've never tried it tbh always just went there for the ice cream.
I remember when the Big Mac seemed a whole lot bigger. Now they look more like Baby Macs. I like your authenticity, but I'm betting most home cooks will go with more meat, more cheese, and save that extra bun to build an extra burger. Not to be nit-picky, but three teaspoons is the same as one tablespoon, and it's easier to measure one of something than three. By the same token, four tablespoons equals 1/4 cup. Have a great week, Greg.
