FULL RECIPE DOWN BELOW!
By following my thin patty method, you can take a store-bought plant-based patty and turn it into a McDonald’s Big Mac replica. I made my burgers using Beyond Meat ground beef and forming it into 2 thin patties for that fast-food feel.
Some readers also took a pack of Beyond Meat burgers and just sliced the patty in half to make two thin patties instead which makes it even cheaper and fewer calories!
I personally like to use Beyond Meat for this recipe, but feel free to use your favourite veggie burgers. And make sure you pair this vegan McDonalds burger with classic fries and a Coke for ultimate food McMemories.
- 2 thin veggie burger patties or 1 Beyond Meat patties sliced in half to make two thin patties.
- 1 large sesame seed hamburger bun or 1½ buns (use bottom for middle part of big mac)
- ½ small onion, minced
- ½ cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 2 vegan American-style cheese slices
- 6 pickle slices
- Easy Vegan Big Mac Sauce
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook burgers for 3-4 mins on each side until heated through (or according to package instructions if different).
- While the burgers are cooking, chop your onions, lettuce and pickles.
- To make the middle bun of the big mac, you can cut the top off the bun, so your bun has 3 parts.
- Lightly toast all three bun parts, by tossing them on the heat grill pan, face down, for 1 min, covered.
- To assemble the burger; spread ½ to 1 tbsp big mac sauce over the bottom piece of each bun.
- Then add some minced onion, iceburg lettuce, 1 vegan cheese slice, 1 burger patty and 3 pickle medallions (just like at the restaurant).
- Put the middle portion of the bun on next and spread with another 1 tbsp of big mac sauce, topped with onion, some lettuce,1 vegan cheese slice, 2nd burger patty, pickle medallions, and burger bun with more big mac sauce.
- To melt the cheese a bit, you can microwave each burger for 30 seconds or heat in pan with a cover.
- Serve with a side of fries.
