Top 6 Fast Food Homemade Recipes

Big Mac If you’re an 80’s baby or younger you probably remember the Big Mac commercials. And my guess is you think you already know what the “special sauce” was (hint: it’s not just thousand island dressing). But when I tried to make them at home it never tasted the same… until now. You’ll never beat the fake meat cheapness of the golden arches, but this homemade recipe tastes so much better the Hamburgler might start robbing you instead. Ingredients: Sesame Seed Bun (Durr) Onion Lettuce (Iceberg is preferable) Cheddar Cheese, sliced (Fresh bests packaged) Beef… the leaner the better (80% is good) Dill Pickles And for the special sauce:?1 cup of miracle whip/mayonnaise?1/3 cups of sweet relish?1/4 cup of French salad dressing?1 tablespoon of sugar?1 teaspoon of pepper?1 teaspoon of dried minced onion (in the spice aisle)?**Note: Make the special sauce let it refrigerate for an hour before using.
