With roughly 34,000 restaurants serving nearly 70 million people every day in 118 countries, McDonald’s has certainly made its mark on the world.Ā  And no item on its menu is more iconic than the Big Mac that comes slathered with their popular “special sauce.”

Unfortunately the commercially available stuff is packed to the brim with junk ingredients that are as difficult to pronounce as they are to digest.Ā  But now you can make your own Big Mac Sauce without the junk ingredients and chances are you already have everything you need in your pantry!

How to use Big Mac Sauce:

Beyond its classic application you can use this versatile sauce in many other ways.Ā  Here are just a few ideas:

  • Slathered hamburgers and hot dogs
  • Use as a sandwich spread
  • Add it to your pasta and potato salads
  • Drizzle it over your lettuce wraps
  • Heap it onto your baked potatoes
  • Use it as a salad dressing
  • Serve it as a dipping sauce for your French fries, potato wedges, onions rings and veggies

However you choose to use this sauce you’ll love how quick and easy it is to throw together.

And it keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge so you can have it on hand whenever that McDonald’s Special Sauce craving comes a-calling!

Let’s get started!

How to Make Big Mac Sauce

This sauce contains only a few ingredients:Ā  Mayonnaise, pickle relish, onion, mustard, white vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika.Ā  Optional:Ā  For some added flavor I also like to add some ketchup.Ā  For another delicious, smoky flavor variation you can add some barbecue sauce.

To make this sauce simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, preferably overnight to allow the flavors enough time to meld.

Store your sauce covered in the fridge where it will keep for up to 2 weeks.Ā  Give it a shake before serving.

Enjoy!
