Mcdonald’s is a place where it can go right or wrong… but the risk of cross contamination is pretty high when it comes to ordering burgers. Recreate a Mcd’s experience at home with these Big Mac Bowls. They’re easy to prep and always satisfying.

Mac Sauce:

• ½ cup mayonnaise, low fat if desired
• 2 tbsp relish
• 1 ½ tbsp mustard
• ½ tbsp BBQ sauce
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ salt

1. Brown and crumble ground beef in skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper (Optional : add chopped onion)

Tips:

This recipe for Mac Sauce was lovingly modified from this one. Its beautiful for people with dietary sensitivities since you can control the brand of the ingredients you are mixing in.

Always be cautious reading ingredients in sauces. BBQ sauces often contain gluten ingredients, especially barley or wheat. I like Good Food for Good or Dad’s BBQ Sauce
