Tips
- To make the sauce, mix all ingredients thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning of the sauce if needed (add more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tang).
- Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.
- The homemade Big Mac sauce isn't as good as McDonald's, but it still slaps.
