Description

Learn how to make the famous McDonald’s-inspired Big Mac sauce at home! This creamy, tangy, and delicious copycat recipe is perfect for burgers, fries, sandwiches, and more.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, pickle relish, and mustard. Stir well until smooth.

  2. Add in paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and sugar (if using). Mix until evenly blended.

  3. Pour in the vinegar and stir again until the sauce is creamy and well combined.

  4. Taste and adjust: Add more vinegar for tang, more relish for sweetness, or extra mustard for bite.

  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
  • Swap sweet relish for dill relish if you prefer a tangier flavor.
  • Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Make ahead: This sauce tastes even better after sitting overnight.
  • Always use full-fat mayonnaise for the most authentic taste and texture.
