Rehydrated Onions, Mcdonald's Style

Recipe #389443 | 20 min | 20 min prep | add private note

By: cookee monster

I worked at McDonald's many years ago. This is the way that they made the onions for the burgers. I did this to go with Big Mac Sauce - Copycat - Dairy Free. I'm guessing at the yield but you can get enough for 4-5 burgers depending on how much you like funky onions.

SERVES 4 -5 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • 1/8 cup water

Directions

  1. 1
    Put onion and water in a small microwave proof bowl. Heat for 30 seconds on medium. Let sit 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. If the onions still seem wet you can press out the extra water with the back of a spoon. Spread onion on top half of your hamburger bun.

Just like those weird little chopped onions at McD's. I love them and always have to ask for them to substitute them for the real onions on the QPw/C. They even have an option on their register when taking your order "different onions" lol I'll be making this and the faux Big Mac sauce from now on
