Copycat Big Mac Recipe

This CopyCat Big Mac Recipe will allow you to enjoy the flavors of McD’s at home and save you some $$’s. My kiddos finally blessed me with ordering up a Big Mac last week. I was excited that they were being adventurous as they are not big on sauces on their burgers. I feel like they are “Big Kids” now, ha ha. I am glad they decided to give my favorite McDonald’s sandwich a try. The only problem is that they all really liked the Big Mac and now want to add it as their preferred McDonald’s order, ha ha. Big Macs cost a bit more than their usual Value Menu Mc Double.
