One of the most popular fast food hamburgers in the world is McDonald's Big Mac. If you're a fan of this burger, you can now make your own version at home with this easy homemade Big Mac recipe.
The recipe for a homemade Big Mac includes two thin patties, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions and "Special Big Mac Sauce", all served between three sesame buns.
Jim Delligatti, franchise owner McDonald's in the Pittsburgh area, created the Big Mac in 1967. Although not all Big Macs are created equal, this burger is sold around the world. But you can make it at home using this recipe, which is very similar to the original. Use a package of hamburger buns to create a three-part sesame bun. Cut off the top of the bun to make it even, then use the bottom half as the middle of the Big Mac.
