My dad did this for us growing up, to help teach the value of "doing things yourself." Homemade breakfast sandwiches and burgers always taste better and tend to be a bit healthier. Love that you did this video!
I literally just made my own bacon mcmuffin at home this morning BEFORE this video posted. Started making my own during the pandemic. It’s pretty easy.
All true but you didn’t pay anyone to make it or take your order. How much gas did you use to cook yours?....agree that if you have a large family definitely more cost effective
We don't have a McDonald's close by, but have a Stewart's Shop which sells breakfast sandwiches for close to 5.00 a piece. And my growing grandson would want 2.... So I started to make them at home. For close to 3.00 I could make him 2! And he said they were better and made with LOVE!!!.
The only other addition is McD's labor costs. They have additional "costs of doing business" they pass on to the consumer, which also drive up the costs. Homemade is always best, I think. I like the idea of using the jar lids to contain the eggs. Chad, you did a fantastic job! Love it!
I made them just last week. I never thought to make them using the lids...great tip. Thank you. If I'm in a hurry i will make a quick omelet and just cut them up to fit the english muffins. Thank you loved it.😊
I'm up in Canada and McD has a 2 for $5 deal here. Usually, it's almost $5 EACH here! The sugar content of the sausage is higher in the McD one. Making it yourself is usually cheaper ;) Heather xo
Oh my word, DELICIOUS. I have been doing this for years and in fact I saved the sack and would make them for my children and they had no clue it wasnt McDs. Our very poor and frugal days. Great memories. Thank you so much for reminding me of them.
IWonderful blog!! I would love to see vlogs cost and time analysis of a frosted home sheet cake vs boxed mix & canister of premade frosting and homemade pudding vs boxed. Brownie mix vs homemade too!!
I'm impressed!! The BEST TIP I HAVE EVER GOTTEN FROM YOU was NOTcutting the end of my onion my eyes never tear up and actually makes cooking your dish more enjoyable. Really enjoyed this video. I make your Taco Soup all the time. ❤
I have done my own “Sausage McMuffins” for years. Saves a lot of money. I’m working on perfecting the Big Mac sandwich. Not there yet. Have a blessed and joyful week.❤️
I always make my own for my husband and I always wrap them separate and freeze them, he loves them. I don't eat eggs, but with this pandemic we've been eating almost every meal at home, I'm not sure my guy will ever want to go out and eat again especially for easy breakfast foods. Thanks for sharing and for giving us the price breakdown.
Use to make these all the time. Great money saver and knew the kids loved them and had breakfast when I was working. Also made the breakfast burritos to switch it up some.
This is such a great idea!!! I have a big family and I really think my kids will like this. I loved chads idea to freeze them! Where did you get your cast iron skillet Jennifer? Thanks guys!! ❤️
Here in the UK I've been eating McDonald's sausage and egg Mcmuffins for 30 years. I never get tired of them. I ration myself to one or two a month, no more. And for the past 5 years I've been making my own version just like you did in the video. There are a couple of differences. I fry the egg in a blini pan (very small pan), then flip it. I've experimented with the water bath method, which is how McDonald's do it, but I get better results with a blini pan and no water. The yolk is broken just the same, though. The other thing is, English muffins here are prescored and you're supposed to tear them in half, NOT use a knife! Tearing them gently in half leaves both halves with a bumpy, knobbly surface that adds to the texture when toasted. Use the tines of a fork to gently go round the muffin along the prescored line. However, muffins made in the US may be slightly different. Finally, the wrap. This is not just to hold the muffin while eating it, but is intended to keep the heat in for a minute or two to help the cheese melt. I did get a bunch of wraps from Amazon, but when they were gone I started using thin kitchen foil instead. So I wrap the muffin and place it in a warm conventional (not microwave!) oven for a few minutes. Over here we usually get a hash brown with the muffin, forming a so-called Mcmuffin Meal, which also includes a white coffee all for £3.59. I get my frozen sausage patties from Tesco or Aldi.
I'm never able to ever do a great sunny side up. You did such a great job. What's ur recipe. Do you use butter and water. Or just water. What were those round things around the egg. It looks like a Mason jar cover. I'm so impressed. I want an English mc muffin right now. I'll make one in the morning. It's almost 2 AM here right now. Can't sleep.
This was so fun to watch. Both of you do such a great job. Maybe once a month you could do this again trying your recipes to take out. Loved it. Have a blessed day.
Loved this video! It is easy to see how much you could save by just eating at home! And I love the idea of pitting some in the freezer and using them as needed!
I love to see you both together and cook en laugh it makes me happy! Such nice people. My daughter said to me "mum you can not bake every week I'm taking to much weight! She loves the bread, the buns and adores the lemon cookies! Lots of love from Myriam, Antwerp (Belgium) 😘
love watching you guys s videos . it always gives me little cooking tricks like re using jar lids to shape the eggs or corn stratch for the cookies recipee . i always learn from you. god bless , muh love from france
tHANKS FOR DOING THE MATH !! I would love to see one of home made bread vs store or bakery bread. We know who wins on flavor fresh from the oven !! lol By the way , am I the only one who cannot get the cookbook to print? I am in Fredericksburg. VA Ward. Love your site. Your love for each other just glows.THANK YOU BOTH .
love watching anything you guys do , what a big mark up on mc Donalds foods ! if your being really strict you have to add on heat , light , rental , utilities etc and they have to pay staff also but if you have a big family so much cheaper to make at home ! hello from the uk xxxx
Price of convenience, I guess, but great idea to make them up ahead of time. I do this when I make breakfast burritos and it tastes just like Mcdonalds.... cheap, cheap, cheap. I individually wrap them and freeze. They heat up great.
Hi Jennifer, this video popped up today, as suggested. Oh how I miss you! I especially miss your cooking and having Chad be the sampler 😊 I hope you consider doing more videos, even if you leave off the comments. You are such a light in the world. Love from NY
We make these all the time. Our kids love them. Wheather it’s breakfast, lunch, or a quick dinner, there’s usually at least one being made everyday. Our 6 and 9 year old can do it on their own! We don’t always have sausage in the house so we fry a piece of balogna or even ham as a substitute. Such a good, filling meal...or snack.
My dad did this for us growing up, to help teach the value of "doing things yourself." Homemade breakfast sandwiches and burgers always taste better and tend to be a bit healthier. Love that you did this video!
Love it! Thanks Chad...I love these comparison type videos. I hope you do more. ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this!!!! Please do more of these types of videos. Now I want to go get all the stuff to make my own.
Using canning lids for the eggs has seriously changed my life! Thank you :)
I literally just made my own bacon mcmuffin at home this morning BEFORE this video posted. Started making my own during the pandemic. It’s pretty easy.
Yes! And they taste so much better :)
That was great fun, I'd love to see more of Chad's money saving ideas.
Great cost analysis! Labor costs might make a huge difference.
Labor and overhead is what you're paying for
All true but you didn’t pay anyone to make it or take your order. How much gas did you use to cook yours?....agree that if you have a large family definitely more cost effective

I would love to see more of these videos, love watching you guys🥰
You guys are just so humble I love it ❤️
Homemade is always better! Your husband is such a sweet man, enjoy watching you two and your nice family
Agreed! Homemade is the best!
Beautiful, Chad! I knew the answer as to which was the best, but I loved watching!❤️😋
Very good idea, and fun to watch. Would have never thought to use the canning rings to make the eggs round. great work!! Love you both.

My grandma taught me to make those steamed eggs .Thanks for breaking it down . Great Video.
Love this ! I'm always looking for easy inexpensive meals for my family. We need more of these from Chad!

I loved this video!! Please do more of these. Such a good idea and I love how he broke it down!
I learned how to cook a perfectly round egg in this video. Thanks!
Loved this video! Great inspiration even on those lazy days.
Looks really good Todd. 👍
I'd love to see more videos like this one. God bless you both! 🙏❤️
This is excellent! Very entertaining and informative. Thank you!
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!!!!! I’d love to see more comparisons
I love watching you both, you make me smile . Chad it was “not a big bite”. Headed to make an egg McMuffin
You both are such a wonderful light and joy with your videos into my life. 😃
Loved this!!! Especially showing how to make it! Do more👍👍👍👍👍
I have done my own “Sausage McMuffins” for years. Saves a lot of money. I’m working on perfecting the Big Mac sandwich. Not there yet. Have a blessed and joyful week.❤️
Great idea. I love the original with the Canadian bacon, which has gotten almost nonexistent over the years, so making it at home makes great sense!
That was so fun!! I loved the video, please do more. I learn a lot watching you guys 🙂
Such a fun comparison. I wanted to see what Jennifer thought too! We love to make these at home.
I love watching all your videos. These look so good. I am going to try making them. Thanks for sharing.
This was such a cute video. Chad, you did a great job and made me want to make some. Nice to see the cost analysis too. Thx for sharing. 😊🐣🍳🍳

I made my own this morning but with english muffins, cheese, eggs and bacon. So yummy great minds think alike haha
This is such a great idea!!! I have a big family and I really think my kids will like this. I loved chads idea to freeze them! Where did you get your cast iron skillet Jennifer? Thanks guys!! ❤️

I make these in bulk and freeze them for my kids! They’re amazing.
Great job Chad! Fun comparison.
My dad is about chads age and the calls them “thongs” too 🤣🤣🤣

What a great idea with the jar lids. I learned something new today. 😊Thank you💞
This was awesome. I would love to see more. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost. I will be making these.

Thank you for all that you 2 share. Love it.
Watching your videos just melts my heart! And, each time I see Chad, there is absolutely no denying "genes", because Lincoln looks JUST like him!
We use an egg poacher for our egg McMuffins. I love when Chad is involved in your videos. Keep up the great work!
So what did Jennifer think? I use to make these with bacon for my boys when they were kids. A great way to save. You both are just so precious!!
tHANKS FOR DOING THE MATH !! I would love to see one of home made bread vs store or bakery bread. We know who wins on flavor fresh from the oven !! lol By the way , am I the only one who cannot get the cookbook to print? I am in Fredericksburg. VA Ward. Love your site. Your love for each other just glows.THANK YOU BOTH .
If you have the mcdonalds app you can usually buy 1 get 1 for a penny. But it's still cheaper to make it at home! This was fun 😁 enjoyed the video!
These look delicious! I’d love to see more cost analysis videos and a video on how you season and care for your cast iron.
Great video! It was fun to watch! Thanks for sharing the info.
Love this video idea and how Chad has ideas for cooking and storing it. Great ideas.
You are GREAT! This kind of video was super entertaining. My new favorite vlogers
Great video! I’m going to try this. Thank you!
Great..home made always better and less costly...thanks Grandma and grandpa ..keep more of this type of video coming...blessings..
..
That Rubbermaid spatula is the best, very sturdy. My wife said we bought ours at least 14 years ago and it has held up great.
Would love to see more "cost analysis" tips. Thank you for taking your time on this
Absolutely would love to see another one of these videos
I loved this video, really fun and informative 👍 x
Y'all are just absolutely precious 💗
And homemade is “more gooder” 👍🏻
Great teamwork!
Gotta love a man that cooks!
I love the comparisons please do more.
You have inspired many with this vlog ! Your timing is spot on.
I loved this video! Very informative - yes, cooking at home is much cheaper and safer!
love watching anything you guys do , what a big mark up on mc Donalds foods ! if your being really strict you have to add on heat , light , rental , utilities etc and they have to pay staff also but if you have a big family so much cheaper to make at home ! hello from the uk xxxx
You go Jennifer ! You got him to cook for you lol. Wish mine would do that. Hmmm maybe I'll mention that save money trick.
Price of convenience, I guess, but great idea to make them up ahead of time. I do this when I make breakfast burritos and it tastes just like Mcdonalds.... cheap, cheap, cheap. I individually wrap them and freeze. They heat up great.

Great idea to use a jar ring for the egg! Made these many times at home. More videos like this please!
You two are cute together ! Going to try this . Could you do a how too on cast iron and seasoning it ?
They are the sweetest! I just got two cast iron pans and am always looking for more videos on using them :)
I thought I heard Thongs, lol. I was thinking did he say Thongs? So I'm glad you clarified that so I know my hearing is still ok.
Do a video on how to season an old iron skillet that needs help!!! Love you channel. My husband just retired so We are right there with you!
That was fun to watch! Definitely interested in seeing more. ❤️
Do you have a video on how to season a cast iron skillet?
It's amazing! I would love to see other of these kind of videos 😉
