Stop what you’re doing and SAVE this recipe for Paleo Big Macs! I promise, you’re going to be happy you did! These copycat McDonalds burgers are great in bowls or on buns for your next bbq! Before the kids were born, my husband created amazing burger recipes and for a little while there was even talk of him opening up a food truck! The McDonald’s Burger was always a fan favorite, so it was the first one I attempted to make with better ingredients. We make them all summer long! I took it up a notch and created a paleo Big Mac sauce to top the burgers and bowls.
