Order This McDonald's Combo For Big Mac Fries Loaded With Toppings

Fast food hacks are fun. Thankfully, the internet has a never-ending supply of them. One that has been making the rounds on social media takes two McDonald's classics and turns them into something even better. This one isn't exactly like your typical McDonald's ordering hack. Instead, it's a DIY creation that involves a little effort, ingenuity, and probably a few extra napkins. Dubbed the Big Mac fries, this creative combination turns a Big Mac and an order of fries into one delicious meal that you won't find on the menu — although it would probably be a big seller if it was. 

To make your own Big Mac fries, order a Big Mac, an order of fries, and an extra side of Big Mac sauce. Then get to work deconstructing your burger and building your loaded fries. Pour the fries out (you can use a plate or the cardboard box the Big Mac comes in) and pull out the burger patties. Rip or cut them into pieces and sprinkle them over the fries, followed by the lettuce, cheese, onions, sauce, and pickles that come on the burger. Finish it off by pouring the container of extra Big Mac sauce all over the fries, discarding the bread, and there you have it: a delicious order of loaded crispy fries.

Big Mac fries (which might end up becoming your new favorite meal) are as customizable as you want to make them. The fries can be ordered well done if you want them extra crispy, and you can always ask for them without salt. (Insider tip: Ordering fries without salt practically guarantees they'll be made fresh to order.) Neither one will cost you extra money, but you might have to wait a little longer to get your food.    

The Big Mac portion of this hack is equally customizable. If you don't like the Big Mac sauce, simply ask to swap it out for ketchup and mustard (or ask for packs of these sauces and add them to the Big Mac sauce if you like all three). You can also order extra cheese, no onions, no pickles, or no lettuce. 

If you think this McDonald's secret menu item sounds delicious but don't want to give up the buns, simply reverse this hack. Once you get your food, add those fries to the Big Mac in-between the burger patties and the buns. To really take this version to the next level, ask for the bun steamed. McDonald's steams the buns on its Filet-O-Fish sandwich, which is what makes them softer and fluffier than the buns on other sandwiches. But you can ask for any item's buns to be steamed, making them tastier than normal. And in case you haven't already guessed, this is another trick that helps ensure your burger is made fresh to order.
