McDonald's Restaurant Background

Mcdonald's copycat recipes are easy and inexpensive to make. Mcdonalds, or Mickey Ds, is the largest fast food restaurant franchise in the world. Famous for the Big Mac cheeseburger and its special sauce, the golden arches are recognized around the globe.

The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in the 1940s by two brothers in California. Dick and Mac McDonald perfected the quick, efficient service that became a business model for restaurants everywhere. The fast food restaurant era was born.

Although not the healthiest diet choice, who doesn't love Mcdonald's fries or a Big Mac with special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun? If you just can't get enough of Mcdonald's fast food, try some of these Mcdonalds' recipe clones such as Mcdonalds shakes, Mcdonalds breakfast burrito, or a Mcdonald's Big 'n Tasty sandwich.

Even as clones, I'll bet these all taste better than Mickey D's fast food fare. So many of their items have gone down hill in recent years. There's not much I eat there anymore

Dad, I so agree. I was craving a Big Mac the other day and was too lazy to make a clone. I ended up throwing it away after just a couple of bites. I don't know if the quality has lessened or if I've just started to enjoy healthier food more.

Hi Angela. I love the big mac sauce recipe i simply adore it.

What I have noticed is here in England the sauce isnt as creamy tasting as in the USA is the uk recipe different in some way I wonder.

I know "maccy d" isnt the best in the world but I must say that the US version is by far better than what we have here in the UK.

Keep on coming up with these recipes they're great and the kids love them too!!!
