This "top-secret recipe" is from a McDonald's Manager's Handbook published in 1969. It was meant to be used only as an emergency recipe for stores that ran out of the pre-made sauce that each store used on the Big Macs®. But, this page in the handbook was quickly removed for fear of other burger chains learning and using the top-secret sauce. But, it was too late. The recipe somehow got out and was made public the next year, and has been available ever since.

Yields: 1 cup, or enough for 8 burgers


Ingredients

•1/4 cup salad dressing (like Miracle Whip®)
•1/4 cup mayonnaise
•3 tbsp French salad dressing
•1/2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
•1 1/2 tbsp dill pickle relish
•1 tsp sugar
•1 tsp dried, minced onion
•1 tsp white vinegar
•1 tsp ketchup
•1/8 tsp salt


Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 minute
Total Time: 11 minutes



1.Mix all ingredients, and stir well in a small container.


2.Microwave on high for 25 seconds, and stir well again.


3.Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Just as how John Amos had stolen the entire manual in Coming to America.

Sorry, but microwave ovens were not in widespread  use in 1969, good try though!

What do you think would've substituted for microwave ovens for cooking Big Macs in 1969?

I was alive in 1969, and as I recall McDonalds at that time prepared their hamburgers on a
big flat piece of hot metal.  I believe they called it a "grill".

Microwave ovens were around in the 1950's.  But they were big, expensive, and only for
commercial use.  They did not become a common home appliance until the 70's.

I wonder how would you make Big Mac sauce without a microwave, would you make cold?
