Recipe Tips
How to Make Big Mac Buns
As you know, Big Mac's have three layers of buns. It's so easy to make your own version. I use a package of hamburger buns but we are going to use some of the buns as the middle. So if you use a package of 8 hamburger buns you can make about five homemade Big Macs. Cut the top off of the top bun to make it even, then use the bottom half as the middle portion of the Big Mac.Nutrition
