This Copycat Big Mac Sauce is delicious on a Big Mac Lettuce wrap, in a Big Mac Salad, or on burgers, fries, or whatever you want! Whip up a batch and keep it in the fridge to use as needed!

I love trying copycat sauces such as the delicious ZAX SAUCE, In-n-Out Sauce, or Outback Bloomin' Onion Sauce!
Making Big Mac Sauce is so easy and it only contains a few ingredients. If you look at the ingredient list from McDonalds, there will be tons of ingredients (33 to be exact) that you won't recognize like, 'Spice Extractives, Polysorbate 80, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), and Vegetable Protein,' just to name a few. What are these things?!??!
I love to know what's actually in the food I'm eating, so figuring out how to make Big Mac Sauce without all the scary ingredients was a must for me, and not too difficult.
I tried various recipes I found online, but nothing seemed quite right. After tweaking things multiple times, I found the best copycat big mac sauce recipe!

We replaced apple cider vinegar with white vinegar and cut back the relish a little but omg was it ever good ! Been trying these for years and this one has been the closest yet! Must be the bbq sauce ! Thanks for sharing! We now have a new staple here !Reply

This recipe isn't bad, but the mustard ratio is super overpowering, I used some standard yellow deli mustard on this recipe and after it all melted it just tastes like relish and mustard mainly, which isn't to say it was bad just a lil off from Mac Sauce, I'd opt for a half tablespoon of mustard, and a lil more paprika
All in all , pretty close, not too badReply

This was really good!! I made some altercations by adding a few squirts of ketchup and a little extra mayo because it was a bit too mustard heavy for me, but once I added those it was soooo good!!!Reply
