- If you've ever wanted to make Mc Donald's iconic Big Mac, then you have found the right video! This video will guide you, step-by-step through the process of recreating the world's favorite burger at home! You'll also learn how to make the "Special Sauce".
Sauce video I mentioned: • Video
Special Sauce Recipe:
1 cup + 4 Tablespoons Mayo
3 Teaspoons Sweet Relish
1 Tablespoon Prepared Yellow Mustard
1 Teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Paprika
2 Teaspoons White Sugar
If you want to make a real Big mac replica you need to use 4x the lettuce, and then put the cheese half on the burger, half in the box. ;)
+EvangelionFan lol I love the cheese part haha
and make those patties less visible....
Smoke_It_Up
hum
Kopa_Malphas lmao
Kopa_Malphas Or put the cheese completely in the box like I've gotten before.
Great recipe man!
One tip given to me by a cookout guru- have a spray bottle of water handy,cook your patties first..When you flip the patties,lay the second sides on new,untouched sections of the griddle.
Once the patties are done and resting on the back tray,spray water over the sections of the griddle where they've cooked,and as the water sizzles off, toast your bun faces on there. That way the bun retains moisture,browns rather than going black,and gets infused with the juices from the cooking beef.
Maybe it'd be more relevant to a copy of a Whopper,where you're going for a more intense meaty taste,but it adds SO MUCH flavour to your finished product.
Great tip Paddy .Cook
Very interesting, ty
It's closer to the real thing with a dry unseasoned browning on the buns though. I've tried both ways.
As I remember the original method for preparing Big Macs in the 70s was to put the onions onto the burgers as soon as they were turned. Then place the toasted crown on top of the burgers and allow the steam from the burgers and onions to rise into the bun. This makes them delicious.
Michael Raines They do not put onions on the burgers anymore that way if someone orders one without onions they can do it faster.
@@HaroldMcClure McDonalds Canada just started doing it that way last week.
100 per cent Canadian beef patties now cooked in smaller batches for hotter and juicier beef
Storage changes for fresher and crisper produce
Onions added directly on the patties on the grill to intensify flavour

I believe Mac buns are steamed, not toasted.
As a German, I have to say you did a pretty german job about researching and analyzing this whole BigMac thing ;) I just cooked one myself, but I always leave out the club part and in the end I just mix up some kind of BigMac sauce that suits my taste. About the taste of the original burger, I absolutely know what you mean! Since I guess the german and the american BigMacs should taste pretty similar, the bun is super soft and all the ingredients get together to one singular mash, that tastes much sweeter than those I make at home. One thing that makes my burgers taste so different from those bought at Fast Food Franchises, I usually kinda "fry" the patties using lots of fat so that they get a nice crust and a "charred" taste. I don't do it like they do it at "Dyer's Burgers" in Memphis (first seen it on the stupid tv show "United States of Bacon" - yes, this was aired on german television! :D ), but the thin patties swimming in oil really made me reconsider the way of cooking a nice burger! Anyways, love your channel for the huge amount of burger recipes, although I know only few of the original ones ;) Greetings from Hagen, Germany!
Best looking home made Big Mac on RUclips. Very well done. I'll be using your method.
JJDiscussions He left out one major ingredient, unless I missed it. He didn't spit a big lugy on it.
John King jesus christ john, what mcd do you go to?
John King ROFL....no sperm either
Tanner Bodie If you think that's bad a couple of years ago the Ashington McDonald's branch in the NE of England got shut down because they found more than 3 different sperm counts in there mayonnaise......When I was growing up in Australia in Perth I knew a lass at my school who worked at midlands McDonald's branch and use to tell me and her brother about the male staff jacking off in the mayonnaise.......
+Tanner Bodie He probably works at one ;)
When it FIRST CAME OUT ,IT WAS,WRAPPED IN ALUMINUM FOIL AND IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD AND THE FISH SANDWICH THEY MADE WAS TO DIE FOR
I remember Big Macs being encased by a white cardboard band with the Golden Arches on it and a tab and 3 - 4 slots to tuck the tab into which was placed in a white cardboard box with a tuck in tab for the lid. I believe the box had the old circle and arches M.
I wonder how many actually died because of their terrible food.
Well, I appreciate your concern. I am less than a year from 50 years of age and I work out four days a week. Most of my hobbies are pretty physical, such as backpacking and rock climbing. The meals prepare on video do not represent my daily diet.
I know this comment is 7 years old and you’re definitely over 50 by this point, but- you certainly don’t look a day over 30. You’ve got good genes. :)
I’ve followed his recipe and it is really spot on! You need to do a copy cat on the old 1980’s McDonald’s McD.L.T. Man I miss that one!!!
That's actually the most accurate looking bigmac that I've seen on RUclips, good job.
True
That looks spot on. I generally try to avoid McDonalds but a big mac or a 1/4 pounder once a year or so makes a good treat. Looks way better when made at home!
I just made this recipe for the first time and my wife and I loved it! Thank you very much for sharing it with us!
When I used to work for McDonald's they got six burgers per pound and used it for their hamburgers, cheeseburgers and Big Macs, and these used to always come frozen to the store. (They'd also use rehydrated onions for these burgers. The Quarter Pounder came frozen and there were truly four patties to a pound and for some reason they used regular (fresh) diced onions these. Yes, Big Macs, once cooked, were probably about a quarter pound worth of beef, so the patties were relatively small. (The sauce for the Big Mac came already prepared to the store, so I had no idea what all was in it.)
looks good. but you took far too much care in the preparation. you're supposed to just throw it together with hatred fueled by your terrible minimum wage job.
Man, best comment on here!
i work at McDonalds and i love my job
+K3'Mystx and its not minimum weige
lmao!!
dude xD
I know this is old but just made some big macs with your recipe for the 4th time tonight!!! Used Wagyu ground beef. Phenomenal!!
I made this tonight. I am a bit of a perfectionist with any recipe I try. And for one, the sauce is pretty exact.. Kudos on adding sugar. Also, the thin patties, using the second bottom bun! This worked out perfect. If I could post a picture, it would be the nicest mac you would see. Compared to the "big" guys. I used cast iron and 80/20. I will use this method from here on out.
As someone who made thousands of these in high school, I'd say you pretty much nailed it. Not that I have the most discerning of palates, I think I taste just a bit of lemon juice in the sauce.
back in the day, when the sign still had the number of burgers sold on it, the patties were much bigger. those were the days!
I've always wondered, were the patties bigger...or were we just smaller?
Cool video. I used to work for a NorCal co. that was a distributor for McDs. We had a dedicated bakery next door...the best thing in the world is a hot off-the-line Big Mac bun! The beef patties are either 6-1 or 4-1,the sauces are all in caulking gun tubes. We used to make our own Big Macs, Quarter Pounders and McRibb sandwhiches out of the "recoop" (damaged packeges) inventory. Awesome!
McDonalds buns are very sweet for a bun I think they must have lots of sugar. It's what gives you that bloated, sick feeling after eating any of there burgers, their meat is pretty nasty too in my opinion. The Big Mac is nothing like it was in the 1970's and early 80's, it was much bigger and better tasting than todays Big Mac.
goldsilverandiamonds just try to take the Meat out of the burger , for sure you cant eat it...McDonald's and burger King are chemical shit, and Way more expensive than a burger made of good Meat , but People love this shit...but pay away over what they get
that looked ten times better than any Big Mac I have ever eaten.! Another great cook thanks Greg thumbs Up!
Thank you! I cook on a Craycort Cast Iron Grate. Google em! They have a grate for most grills. Cheers!!
Thanks for checking it out!
Man, your are duplicating these burgers in a very realistic way! That looked just like the Big Mac! Homemade tasting would be better for sure! The Royal with cheese, I mean the 1/4 pounder with cheese, lol, (Pulp Fiction) has always been my favorite McDonalds burger. Your gonna have to change your name to "Ballistic Burger Bomb" I'm seriously enjoying this series Greg! Thanks
Great video as always. Thanks for giving me so many ideas/recipes. I laughed when you talked about your burger not having a "mass produced/industrialized taste".. because I know what it is, and could possibly get you a little closer. It's just simply MSG. Lol season your sauce with it, and your burger patties. Also, seasoning your flat top with beef tallow could help as well.
He's spot on with that middle bread. I frequent a late night McD and they were lazy. I'd often complained because they just threw a bottom bun in the middle and thought I wouldn't notice. I did and I complained about it. They fixed me another one and I noticed it had been cut.
complaining because of extra food?
another liar. Mcdonald's has the clubs in separate bags. Why spend the time to create a lie to put down mcdonald's?
That 1 Guy what would be the point of me lying? The McDonald's location is 919 N Hairston Rd in Stone Mountain, GA in case you were wondering. ✌🏿️
if anyone is struggling with their burger result, this is the absolute best way to go.
best burger i've ever made. period!!
I've never been a fan of the Big Mac. Yours looks way better actually.
Anyone who has ever eaten a Big Mac from the average franchise knows that it’s not worth buying.
I haven't had a chance to make the burger yet, but I tried the sauce and it's great. I made it, let it sit a few hours to marry, like with most sauces, and when I put some on a sonic burger, it tasted like I was eating a big mac. Thanks man. I'll try the burger as soon as I can.
Just discover your 55 burger playlist.. Alot of good burgers to be made!!
Cheers!

Kkjhhhoopp
One night a link
The parchment works great! Thanks for stopping by!
has anybody thought to check the ingredient list on the tubes they squeeze the sauce out of?
they don't use tubes. where do you people come from? Geese!!!
This is the best Big Mac recipe video that I have seen on RUclips ! You are very painstaking in what you do, it's great.
Unfortunely, in France we don't have all of those ingredients (sweet relish for example), but I've founded an american market online. So I will test it soon.
Thanks a lot and just keep it up !
Highly Inaccurate copy,
You used beef.
You put effort into the creation.
The finished product wasn't soggy and lop sided.
Ha ha, lol.
Hahaaaa
Lol
Great to hear! On another point, some of those Greek places rock the burger!
If you put the cheese on the patty while it's grilling it will taste better
Thanks for stopping by!
He man, love the way turn the bic mac in to science! Keep it up
Mutual respect, stems a long time ago, nice!
Thank you! Been out of the mix for a few weeks, but planning on shooting a video today. Cheers!
Mcdonalds uses dehydrated onions for the Big Mac, hamburgers,cheeseburgers, and double cheeseburgers. And the quarter pounders they use diced onions.
wrong again, white boy
OUTSTANDING man!!! Nailed the Big Mac! Cooked 'em inside on the stove top Griswald skillet knowing they'd fry up quick! The wife was on the back porch having a wine when I called her in. She said even the house smelled like a McDonalds! Lots of fun! Great job! Keep it up!
I'm loving these burger clones you've been doing! Big Mac is my fav so far :) I've got a idea for ya if you want to do another one soon. Hardee's is currently featuring a "Memphis BBQ Thickburger" and it looks pretty epic :)
LOL! No secrets here brother! I just love cooking outdoors! Thank you for stopping by!
I love your enthusiasm. I'd love to challenge you to a cook off. If you can handle the disappointment, that is. ;-D
Major issue here bud! You used real Beef Nice video
I couldn't find any slime!!!! :)
blown95stanggt EPIC COMMENT DUDE!
Ballistic BBQ LOVE YOUR REPLY TO HIS COMMENT MAN! SO TRUE!
@Fitange thanks again for the request! This one was challenging because EVERYONE knows this burger. I wanted to get as close as I could. Plus, Ray and Joan Krock (the founder) lived here in San Diego. Had to get it right!
It's probably also better for your body to eat the homemade variant.
nice video! from my research i determined that there was some kind of filler in the patty mix.. i use salt and breadcrums (15%) and leave it for a day, works really well with the texture and makes the beef easier to work with. I also put the cheese on the burger after i flip it to help it set.
Thank you. I love the Big Mac.
Enjoy! Thank you for check'n them out!
I was watching skyrim mod videos an hour ago and now im here...
+The celt1234 sucks lmao
The celt1234 sucks watching rim job videos?
The wonders of RUclips
Welcome to the World of RUclips
Are i still watchin skyrim mod videos ?
Thank you for checking it out. Homemade is better anyway!
This is by FAR the best looking DIY Big Mac on youtube! You've got a very nice channel and one more subscriber! :)
you need a role model. There are far better versions, and this dude talks too damn much.
@@Bullitt419 was It really that important to mention, that you HAD to reply to a 4 year old comment?
Good Job, THX
I want to see the grill and set up you have...
Want to see how you have the "Flat Top" built into the grill
Better looking than the MickyD's version. I will pay to have you make my big macs
"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles onion on a sesame seed bun (tm)" McDonald's came out with the big mac 1968. It was a copy cat of Big Boy Inc.'s double decker hamburger + pickles & onion. note; Bob's Big Boy (1938) has mayo & red sauce & Frisch's Big Boy(NW Ohio) uses tarter sauce & pickles.
I worked at a IHOP in 1972. they also had a copy of the Big Boy Inc. #8 (1/8lb) frozen patties cooked on a griddle. Special Sauce came out of a 1 gallon jar of Kraft 1000 island dressing. Tasted exactly like a Big Mac.
McDowell's does the same thing but no sesame seeds on the buns. The big mic
If you like the Big Mac, but don't want to pay $3.50 for basically a glorified $1.19 McDouble, here's what you do. Order a McDouble without mustard and ketchup. Ask for Mac Sauce. And then order a $1 Spicy Chicken (and a fork). Transfer the lettuce from the chicken sandwich to the McDouble and basically you have exactly a Big Mac except for the sesame seeds and an extra bun. You also get a chicken sandwich out of the deal. (I ask for extra pickles on it.) It will cost you less and you'll get more.
that's a Mc Gangbang more or less.
Candi Kane LMAO!!! i laughed so hard
me too...^^
Candi Kane almost but not quite. The mcgangbang is a mcdouble with a mcchicken in between the two burger patties.
"Like a Mac" was a grilling option on the tills when I used to work there, Not sure about now but a lot easier to ask for.
Great video, fellow. Heck, I'm happy with just knowing a proper Special Sauce recipe -- I could eat that on all sorts of stuff!
I was going to say that also. I always thought the 'sauce" was Thousand Island Salad Dressing.
I see white people
I'm pretty sure they use rehydrated onions, you can't help but seeing them on their burgers, or use to. I know they use fresh, but on the plain cheeseburger or plain burger, I use to see and taste them, so I put some on my son's with pickles, mustard ketchup, and the first thing he said was it tasted like , Mac, D's. Onion powder also gives that flavor if you don't have the dried onions. The buns make such a difference too.
Carol Napolitano
they do use dehydrated onions,
I work at McDonald's.
Around 230 Big Macs were sold during this video...
Kobe Bryant lol
Kobe Bryant
Prophetic
can i just say i love you. intelligent narration, concise and to the point, a little dry humor here and there, and fantastic recipes. you're one of the good ones.
I thought the sweetness in the sauce was from using Miracle Whip?? Or so I was told.... (Miracle Whip, Relish and Ketchup?)
Your Big Mac Looks AMAZING BTW..!!!!
It would work, but I compared it to the actual stuff and it isn't the same. That being said, Thousand Island dressing is one of my personal favorite burger toppings. Hate it on a salad, but LOVE it on a burger!
I just figured the special sauce was thousand island dressing.
yep, with a dusting of fine-grain red pepper !!!
Exactly
It pretty much is thousand island dressing.
because, you're white.
@@Bullitt419 Because he is white?Why.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words.
watching this video was torture because it made me get hungrier and hungrier
Ishaaq
Ishaaq Ansar uuyuuuuuiuiiiuuijiuiop
I always thought it was just thousand island dressing.
Quite a few of the key components of thousand island dressing are in it.
I thought the same. I was told the same. Easy sauce, mayo and ketchup lol.
Vic Vinegar That is 1000 Island dressing. He just broke down the recipe for us. If he had simply used about 1-2 tbl spoons of Ketchup instead of the vinegar and sugar, he could have gotten the same results.
I saw the MacDonalds video he is referring to and it uses paprika for color and the other changes Greg mentioned.
It's obviously not thousand island dressing, I don't get why people say that, tastes pretty different.
im using the baking paper burger stack for about 2 years now. thanks for making my life easier!
Is anyone watching This video on 2019
made this today and the family thought i went to mcdonalds, thanks!!! lifesaving sauce!!
At one time, I worked at McDonalds. Occasionally, we would run out of the Big Mac "secret" sauce. So we'd substiute a mixture of mayo & thousand island dressing. Apparently, no one ever noticed the difference.
Hard to believe, but.....
You look too old to have worked at McDonalds.
So where did You got the thousand sauce? Because nowhere on the menu there us thousand Island sauce at McDo
isn't the 1000 island dressing from Whataburger lol
Clyde Wary The special sauce taste like Thousand Island dressing so I was wondering why he was wasting time making sauce.
Thank you! Yeah, there are some really great burger places out there for sure!
👀👀👀👀, the next time your kid want a McDonald's Burger do this and keep extra wraps and boxes. Thank me later 😉
Watching Vids make the patties twice the thickness.
Why lie to your children? Do you tell them there's a santa claus, and an easter bunny too?
Of all the big mac videos out there you have a really profesional approach! Good vid!
you probably used more meat than they do
Way too much. This wasn't even close.
i just came across your video while searching for a good bicmac recipe. did this exactly your way and it was just amaaaaaazing! my wife loves the big mac and even she said: wow, this just tastes like a real big mac!
subscribed! ur the man - thank you very much!
(sorry for my bad english - a turk who lives in germany, lol)
Jim Delligatti invented the Big Mac, not Ray Kroc.
Ray Kroc made McDonald's.
+Vanessa Shantae While Ray Kroc made the McDonald's Corporation we have to day, the original McDonalds was started by Richard and Maurice McDonald.
Thank you! I've been researching White Castle burgers and they too use dehydrated onion. I reconstituted some just to see how they taste and yeah! Totally like Mc'D's. Thanks again!
Long ago (1974) as a kid I worked at a McDonald's for awhile. The onions were actually reconstituted dehydrated onions. The patties were frozen when they hit the grill top and they always used presses on top of the patties as they cooked. Yours looked like a pretty good burger though!
Yes I do. It's on my channel. Guess I need to start linking on these videos huh? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Yes, we have Jack In The Box all over the place. I'll put the good old Jumbo Jack on the list!
Soooooo happy I tried this tonight! Me and hubby feel it is the absolute BEST burger we've ever had!! It blows doors off McDonald Big Macs!!!
the original big mac is made with 2 x 1/10 pound (50g) meat patties , 2x 1/3oz (10ml) of sauce, 3.5g of rehydrated onions, 2x 10g of iceberg lettuce, 2 slices of pickled cucumbers on top and a slice of "cheddar cheese" (artificial cheese thing) on the bottom. Except of the toasting on the bun, this burger looks perfect. Great job!
Nice!... When I was a kid in the 70's, I had the T-shirt that had the Big Mack on it.. It said in between the buns, " 2 all beef patties' special sauce, lettuce, cheese , pickles on a sesame seed bun!
Thank you! I'm doing a White Castle burger soon and I discovered this a couple weeks ago. Reconstituted some and it totally tasted like Mc Donald's onion!
Hi. Just posting again so you get some activity on this video. It’s under my favourites and just made it again today. I use Yves veggie burgers and slice them in half (I don’t eat meat). Your sauce is bang on! Love it still to this day.
Thanks! It's been a fun little run for sure! I have a few ideas on deck.
No worries Chad! We all have lives and responsibilities. I've been trying to catch up with my viewing as well... Yeah, I had this stainless steel insert cut at a metal shop. Really fun to cook on!
Mr. Ballistic BBQ, I grilled some of your reverse engineered Big Macs for my kids and they said "Hey! this is a Big Mac". Thanks dude and keep the great videos rolling.
Thank you! I have one of those choppers that you pound on a plunger. Works really good!
I love how much thought you put into studying the big mac and your desire for accuracy. I would never but a big mac, but this I might do. Thanks and keep it up!
That does sound like a KILLER combo! I'm gonna' give it a shot too. Cheers!
Thank you very much. It was fun cooking up something so familiar!
Thank you... It's really hard to beat homemade. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for stopping by. Marcel is a great guy!
i work over night,this is my day off,not only did i try it ( remind's me of the way the big mack tasted when i was 150 i just post'd the link 2 this vid on my facebook page.another great one thank's greg
I have a few Red Robin burgers on my "To Do" list. Love the Teriyaki burger!
IT IS AWESOME! I miscounted my sweet relish though (duh) and when I went to put another tspn in, I grabbed my dill relish instead.... TURNED OUT GREAT! I also put in a tbspn of ketchup along with the mustard because, hey, red is a nice color! :) AWESOME Vid, awesome recipe and that grill plate REMAINS sick awesome to this day! Thanks for all, bud!
probably like they used to be originally. my husband worked there back in 60s..he said he had made a sauce using ketchup and tarter sauce and put it on his own burger while he was at work.. he always jokingly thought..Hey..I invented the special sauce! He still likes to make up stuff weird like that and hes 70 now. Thanks for sharing..That used to be my favorite burger but not so much now that Im in my 40s and do all sorts of cooking.
I like that you openly say things about the way "they do it", yet do it your way, because that's the way you think it's supposed to be. That's tough.
& that's great.
Burger King focused on " You can have it your way" .
McDonald's focused on the "You deserve a taste today."
BigMac, an how so few know that Frish's Big Boy has the same sandwich,
with a "Double~Cut~Bun".
It never ends with this fun food.
=^.^=
Good idea, thanks!
