Description

Legendary Big Mac Sauce brings burger magic straight from McDonald’s kitchens to home cooking. Homemade condiment promises restaurant-quality flavor with simple ingredients you can mix in minutes, creating burger perfection with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Base:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp white onion
  • 1 tsp white vinegar

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Seasoning:

  • 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. In a clean mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise as the creamy foundation, creating a smooth base for the signature sauce.
  2. Finely mince the white onion into extremely small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and balanced flavor profile.
  3. Add sweet pickle relish into the mayonnaise, stirring gently to integrate the tangy and textural component.
  4. Pour white vinegar into the mixture, which will provide a subtle acidic brightness and help blend the ingredients seamlessly.
  5. Introduce ketchup, creating a rich, slightly sweet undertone that enhances the sauce’s complexity.
  6. Incorporate yellow mustard to add a gentle, zesty kick and deeper flavor dimension.
  7. Sprinkle garlic and onion powders, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any potential clumping and ensure consistent seasoning.
  8. Dash worcestershire sauce, which will contribute a nuanced umami depth and rounded flavor profile.
  9. Season with salt and black pepper, stirring meticulously to distribute spices evenly throughout the sauce.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and intensify before serving, which will optimize the sauce’s overall taste experience.

Notes

  • Chop onions super fine using a sharp knife or food processor to achieve restaurant-style consistency without chunks.
  • Substitute mayo with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for healthier or dietary-restricted versions that maintain creamy texture.
  • Adjust vinegar quantity slightly based on personal tanginess preference, tasting as you mix to balance flavors perfectly.
  • Store sauce in an airtight container for up to one week in refrigerator, allowing flavors to develop and intensify over time.
