      I had a craving for a Big Mac and fries today but I didn’t want to go to McDonald’s so I decided to make Big Mac fries and that’s how I stumbled across this recipe. SO glad I did! This is one of the best sauces ever and it’s soo close to the real thing, but better!! I can still smell the onion on my breath…no regrets whatsoever. I can now die a happy woman. Thank you for sharing!

        Forgot to add that the only change I made was adding stone ground mustard because that’s what I had on hand.

      My husband is a HUGE fan of this sauce! Loves it! Loves having it for homemade burgers and even on grilled cheese sandwiches and deli sandwiches! Lol... I have to monitor how much he has so he doesn't pig out on it!

      That is not the ingredients for the original mcdonalds big mac sauce i have stumbled on to it and it is a mixure of blue cheese sauce and ketchup to taste. The blue cheese sauce gives it that creamy nutty flavor overtones that people cant put their finger on but many have tried and failed. No mayonaise. Let me know what you think.

        Hi Richard! I've never seen blue cheese sauce in a recipe for Big Mac sauce. Hmm.. Have you tried it? No mayo, blue cheese sauce and ketchup - that sounds like a different sauce to me. I hope you will give my recipe a try!
