When I was younger there was a McDonald\u2019s around the corner from my house, and when my parents let my sister and I go there on our own, it was a treat.<\/p>\n

We felt like grown ups. Of course if there wasn\u2019t anything fun in the Happy Meal we wanted a grown up meal, which meant a Big Mac, Fries and a Soda. That two-layer burger with the extra bun in the middle, cheese, onions, pickles, special sauce, and lettuce; so yummy. Gosh I can taste it right now.<\/p>\n

But what do you do when you are Vegan?<\/h3>\n

McDonald\u2019s has made it clear that they don\u2019t intend to hop on the plant based or vegan wagon with adding a Beyond Burger or Impossible Burger to their menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So your options are if you want your childhood craving of fast food, The Impossible Whopper<\/strong>, the Beyond Famous Star<\/strong>, and the Beyond Tacos at Del Taco<\/strong> to name a few.<\/p>\n

So when I was on Facebook awhile back, and let\u2019s be honest who isn\u2019t on Facebook, I saw a posting that said<\/p>\n

VEGAN BIG MAC!! EXACT COPYCAT RECIPE TO FOOL ANYONE!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Really? You don\u2019t say.<\/p>\n

Could I really have my childhood favorite again? So I watched the video. Now if I were you I would definitely go watch the video because it\u2019s fun to watch and see it prepared and all the steps, plus that\u2019s how I really got the desire and urge to make the Vegan Big Mac (V Big Mac). However, for those of you who don\u2019t want to watch the video, here is the recipe\u2026<\/p>\n

Vegan Big Mac – Makes one Big Mac<\/h3>\n

1 1\/3 C Vegan Mayo (Veganaise)<\/p>\n

2 1 tsp. Onion Powder<\/p>\n

3 1 tsp. Garlic Powder<\/p>\n

4 1 tsp. Paprika<\/p>\n

5 2 tsp. Sweet Pickle Relish (heaping)<\/p>\n

6 1 tsp. White wine vinegar<\/p>\n

7 1 tsp. Finely Chopped White Onion<\/p>\n

8 1\/2 C Sliced Iceberg Lettuce<\/p>\n

9 Sesame Seed Buns<\/p>\n

10 1 slice Follow Your Heart American Cheese (Don\u2019t substitute with another cheese)<\/p>\n

11 Fast foot dill pickle slices (I got mine at Ralph\u2019s)<\/p>\n

12 1 Beyond Burger Patty (Use this not Impossible not sure why but the video says it\u2019s better and I agree)<\/p>\n

Mix dressing (1,2,3,4,5,6)<\/p>\n

Split Patty in half, form into 2 new patties<\/p>\n

Cook for 3 min each side<\/p>\n

Place cheese (10) on in last minute cooking, add a little water to pan and cover.<\/p>\n

Assemble<\/p>\n

Enjoy! Seriously Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, let me tell you eating this Vegan Big Mac<\/strong> was like I was back in McDonald\u2019s when I was a young girl with my sister. The only thing missing was the fries, which McDonald\u2019s aren\u2019t vegan anyway, and the box it came in.<\/p>\n

I scarfed this burger down so fast.<\/h3>\n

My eyes popped out. I was trying to talk and say to my friend how delicious this was, but it was just too full.<\/p>\n

The V Big Mac was outstanding<\/strong>, the sauce, the sauce was spot on to the original McDonald\u2019s sauce, which got all over my hands just like the original Big Mac, the burger was juicy<\/strong> and delectable as it should, the onions were tangy<\/strong>, the pickles were sour and salty, I mean I am very picky about my pickles, I went out of my way to get the Fast Food Hamburger pickles to make sure they were the right ones, the cold iceberg lettuce crunch to the burger.<\/p>\n

YES! That\u2019s a burger.<\/h3>\n

Reminds me almost like the Bob\u2019s Big Boy Original Burger<\/strong>, which also had two patty\u2019s a third bun, cheese, iceberg lettuce and a special sauce.<\/p>\n

Eating the V Big Mac was magical.<\/h3>\n

Plus I felt healthier eating this Big Mac then the McDonald\u2019s version. I wouldn\u2019t mind eating this V Big Mac once a week. Next time I am going to make fries to go with it. So in the end it\u2019s fine that McDonald\u2019s doesn\u2019t want to hop on board with the rest of the Fast Food chains using the plant based meats, I can just make my own Vegan Big Mac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
