A Big Mac (one bun section removed) still has two beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and Big Mac sauce. The removed piece is the middle bun section; the top and bottom bun sections remain, though toppings can vary by location or customization.
Big Mac sauce is a creamy, tangy condiment made with a mayonnaise-style base, relish, mustard and seasonings. McDonald’s does not publish the exact recipe, but a home-style approximation combines mayonnaise, finely chopped pickles, mustard and a little vinegar or paprika.
The middle bun section separates the two patties and helps support the stacked fillings, making the sandwich easier to hold. A Big Mac (one bun section removed) leaves out that middle piece while keeping the top and bottom sections.
A Big Mac is built with two patties, a middle bun section, lettuce, pickles, cheese and its signature sauce. A Quarter Pounder typically has one larger patty and a simpler topping combination; exact ingredients can differ between countries.
Yes, you can request that the middle bun section be left out when ordering a Big Mac. Whether the app offers it as a selectable customization varies by market, so add a clear note or ask the crew to confirm the modification.
Refrigerate a leftover Big Mac (one bun section removed) promptly in a covered container and eat it within 3–4 days. Discard it if it has been left at room temperature for too long; lettuce and sauce also become soggy during storage.
For the best texture, remove the lettuce and sauce, warm the patties separately, then rebuild the Big Mac. You can microwave the assembled burger in short bursts, but the bun may turn soft and the cold toppings may wilt when heated.
Cook two thin beef patties and layer them with cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions and a tangy mayonnaise-based sauce. Use the top and bottom pieces of a sesame bun, leaving out the middle bun section to make this version.
It is called a Big Mac because the name presents it as a larger, distinctive hamburger, rather than describing a particular ingredient. McDonald’s introduced the sandwich in the United States in the 1960s, and it became one of the chain’s best-known menu items.
No. A Big Mac (one bun section removed) still contains the top and bottom bun sections, and the sauce and other ingredients may contribute additional carbohydrates. Removing the middle piece reduces the amount of bread but does not make the sandwich carb-free.

A Big Mac with one bun section removed is a modified version of McDonald’s American-style burger. It is typically made with two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, onion and the chain’s signature sauce, layered in a sesame-seed bun; here, one section of that bun is left out.
The soft bread and juicy patties are balanced by creamy sauce and the tang of pickles and onion. It is commonly eaten as a quick lunch or dinner, often with fries and a drink. It provides protein, while also being fairly energy-dense: the listed estimate is 265 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter meal, pair it with a side salad and water instead of fries and a sugary drink.
