Big Mac remains a popular McDonald’s sandwich and has inspired many related foods. Big Mac casserole and Big Mac mac and cheese are examples of creations that use the sandwich’s flavors, including secret sauce, lettuce, white onions, pickles, and cheese. A suggested upgrade is a Big Mac hot dog made by placing melted American cheese on a hot dog roll and loading it with classic Big Mac toppings. A courtesy cup of Big Mac sauce can be requested, or the sauce can be made at home using mayo, pickle relish, Düsseldorf mustard, white wine vinegar, paprika, onion powder, granulated garlic, and white pepper. The creamy sauce complements subtly sweet pork or beef and the toppings add contrasting crunch. Homemade preparation allows adjusting topping ratios, including swapping sharp onions for sweeter caramelized onions.
"One great Big Mac-inspired food you should try, though, is the Big Mac hot dog. Grab your hot dog roll (bonus points if it has sesame seeds on it), melt a slice of American cheese on it, and load up your hot dog with all of the classic Big Mac toppings."
"Next time you're at McDonald's, you can try asking for a courtesy cup of Big Mac sauce on the side, but you can also make this famous addition at home. In fact, a former McDonald's chef shared his ingredients for the perfect Big Mac sauce in an Instagram video - mayo, pickle relish, Düsseldorf mustard, white wine vinegar, paprika, onion powder, granulated garlic, and white pepper."
"The sauce will offer a creamy complement to the subtly sweet pork or beef hot dog, while the toppings will offer a contrasting crunch to the hot dog's other components. The nice thing about this hack is that, since you aren't relying on a fast-food employee to make it and have other ingredients at your disposal, you can easily play with each hot dog topping and its respective ratio on the dog."
"For example, if you dislike the sharpness of white onion, try these foolproof caramelized onions on your burger. They're much sweeter and would bring out the sweet undertones of your hot dog well."
