Description

This BEST Big Mac Sauce Recipe replicates the iconic creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet sauce found on McDonald’s famous Big Mac burger.

Ready in minutes and best after refrigerating to let flavors meld, it’s a delicious homemade alternative to store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale

Big Mac Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quality mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons natural ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, place the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, finely minced onion, natural ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, granulated sugar, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is smooth. This will create the classic Big Mac sauce consistency.
  3. Refrigerate for Best Flavor: Although you can use the sauce immediately, cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the taste.
  4. Serve and Store: Before serving, give the sauce a good shake or stir. The sauce can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Yields approximately 3/4 cup of sauce.

Notes

  • Use a quality natural ketchup for a more authentic flavor, avoiding heavily processed or overly sweetened varieties.
  • Finely minced onion ensures the onion flavor is well distributed without large chunks in the sauce.
  • The sauce improves in flavor after refrigeration, so plan ahead if possible.
  • This sauce is perfect not only for Big Macs but also as a dip for fries, chicken nuggets, or as a spread on burgers and sandwiches.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
