MCDONALD'S Big Mac vs HECHO EN CASA 🍔 *salsa secreta McDonalds*

beef patties

🥗Healthier: turkey patties

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey patties reduce fat while ground beef is more affordable.

American cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese slices

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while processed cheese is often cheaper.

special sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise + ketchup

Yogurt dressing is lighter, while mayo and ketchup are budget-friendly.

Prepare the secret sauce by mixing 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of mustard, a few drops of white wine vinegar, a pinch of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and finely chopped relish.

Cut the sesame seed burger buns into three parts: bottom, middle, and top.

Slice 200 g of beef into two patties, each weighing 100 g.

Shape the beef into patties, ensuring they are thicker than the original McDonald's patties.

Toast the burger buns in a 12-inch cast iron skillet with a bit of butter until golden brown on both sides.

Cook the beef patties in the skillet until well done, ensuring they are not undercooked.

Assemble the burger starting with the bottom bun, adding a layer of secret sauce, shredded lettuce, the first beef patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the middle bun.

Spread more secret sauce on the middle bun, add pickles, finely chopped onions, the second beef patty with melted cheese, more shredded lettuce, and finally the top bun to complete the burger.
