Big Mac Sauce Recipe (Better Than McDonald's)
A creamy, tangy, and iconic Big Mac Sauce that tastes just like McDonald's — only better. Quick to make with pantry staples and endlessly customizable for burgers, wraps, fries, and more.
Ingredients
- ½ cup quality mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish or use sweet pickle relish and omit the sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
- 2 tablespoons natural ketchup
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Grab a medium bowl with enough space to stir easily without making a mess.
- Add the mayonnaise, relish, minced onion, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the bowl.
- Mix everything thoroughly until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure nothing’s left unmixed.
- Taste the sauce. Adjust salt, relish, or add a dash of hot sauce if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Overnight is ideal.
- Use straight from the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Chill before serving to let the flavors blend properly.
- Finely mince the onion to avoid overpowering the sauce.
- Dill relish is preferred over chopped pickles for texture.
- Taste with a fry or lettuce to check for seasoning before serving.
- Double the recipe if serving a group — it goes fast!
