McDonald's Sausage & Egg McMuffin But CHEAPER And BETTER

The McDonald's sausage and egg McMuffin is an iconic breakfast menu item. It has been feeding people since 1975 and is incredibly popular. But...In the UK at least it's currently £3.39 for a double! For ONE single muffin. That can really mount up to quite an expensive breakfast especially if you take the whole family. So I have revived my old recipe, so you can easily make the iconic sausage and egg mcmuffin at home for £1.50 or less. A tip for you, once the patty mix has been combined, take a pinch off and fry it. Taste it, and if you want more salt, herbs, pepper you can add more before forming into patties.

What other McDonald's items would you like me to tackle?

[@Ginab394]

Please .. the McChicken Sandwich I make lots of your recipes and they r my best meals .. thank u love u

[@faydove]

What ever you do will be good Adam.

[@Ant-dx8yt]

Thing about McDonald's, I think, whatever you get it all tastes the same, horrid.

[@deathbycocktail]

When I was a veggie through the 90s they had an amazing bean burger. Not sure it'd work for the channel as I don't think they've sold it in years, but it was gorgeous. I need to look for a recipe now!

[@anne-audetteroux122]

Do you get a Chicken Foldover in the UK? We have it by that name in South Africa. It’s called a McArabia in some other countries. One of the few things on the menu I love.

[@seanfenwick]

I have happily made my own with English muffins, a strongly cured ham or I make my own pork/ beef patty with a tomato puree, cheddar cheese, egg etc. I’m much happier as it all costs me about 30% of our local Micky D’s.

[@lesreid6247]

Adam, McDonald’s used to be cheap😮 not anymore, if we got it for the whole family, it would have to be on payday 💰 this is a great alternative, thanks mate 👍

[@Adam_Garratt]

If you buy a bag of hash browns, you can add those along with it for the full maccys experience

We don't have double sausage mcmuffins here. But the regular egg mcmuffin with sausage most times are $5.00 each in Arizona. Sometimes they run a special of 2 for $5.00 for a few weeks.

[@chuckfinley846]

Thanks, mate! You're a life saver. They've taken the McSausage from the menu in Germany for quite some time now. Never thought I'd have one again.

Love it. Tastier and healthier!

[@TurKishBacon]

As an American living in the UK, I make these (singles not doubles) all the time because I find they don't taste the same as the US ones. The best sliced cheese for these available in the UK is Dairylea imo. Probably closest to how American cheese (particularly Kraft singles) melts and tastes. They're usually on offer so not too expensive. I've found others either don't melt or have a really weird taste. Tesco and Aldi both also sell a pretty close frozen sausage patty match if you can't find a good minced pork with a decent fat content.

I have a fondness to the big mac. When I was younger and had a troubled childhood, I used to come visit my dad up here in Leicester. We used to get a big mac each and we'd sit in the car and eat as we chatted talked about fishing. I always felt like a grown up with this massive burger like my dad lol. Good times

Nice video! 🤩I will try to meal prep this, freeze/refrigerate it and nuke it when we want it. I'd might also use that pork fat to toast the muffins instead of butter or oil. I'm too cheap, and the fat makes it taste YUM!! I also want to try my hand at making the muffins. I already have a good recipe, but I have to get the little tins. Thank you for sharing the recipe! It looks much butter than Mickey D's and probably much more healthier for us too. You make brekky much more fun! You can say American cheese, because it is processed cheese. BUT if you want true American cheese, give Monterey Jack cheese or Pepper Jack cheese a try. Both would taste really good on this sammie. Be well and be safe! Hug Moggs for us! 🤗 Cheers!! ☺❤🙏

Looks pretty good, mate, but I'm afraid that I'm one of those hillbillies who doesn't like runny eggs in any kind of sandwich, as they're a bit too messy for me. 😂 I actually make things like this quite often, (the egg will be "over well," as the Yanks would call it,, although that wouldn't be to your taste), and I will quite often add some bacon, (not crispy, just nicely browned), a slice of tomato, and some caramelised onion on top of the egg, with some HP or some other brown sauce. 😋
