A Big Mac without middle bun has two beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions and Big Mac sauce, served with the top and bottom sesame-seed bun pieces. The removed piece is the extra bun slice between the patties.
The sauce on a Big Mac without middle bun is the same creamy, tangy Big Mac sauce used on the standard sandwich. Its exact ingredients can vary by market, and removing the middle bun does not automatically mean the sauce is left off.
Ask for a Big Mac without the middle bun, specifying that you mean the bun slice between the patties. If ordering through an app, use its customization options or add a note; whether staff can make the change may depend on the restaurant.
A standard Big Mac uses a middle bun slice to separate its two patty layers and help hold the stacked sandwich together. Removing it makes the burger less tall and changes its structure, but the remaining top and bottom buns still hold the fillings.
Yes, a Big Mac without middle bun is still a Big Mac with one bun slice omitted. It keeps the signature two patties and, when no other changes are requested, the usual sauce, cheese and toppings.
Yes, it can taste and feel different because there is less bread between the patties. The beef, sauce and toppings may stand out more in each bite, although the familiar Big Mac flavor remains when the other ingredients are unchanged.
No, a Big Mac without middle bun is generally not suitable for strict keto eating because the top and bottom buns still provide carbohydrates. Removing the middle slice reduces the bread but does not make the sandwich bun-free.
Yes, you can usually request a Big Mac without middle bun with the sauce, pickles or other toppings omitted. State each change when ordering; available customization options and how they appear in the app can differ between locations.
To make a Big Mac without middle bun at home, stack two thin beef patties with cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, onions and a Big Mac-style sauce between the top and bottom bun pieces. Leave out the bun slice that normally separates the patties.
Put leftover Big Mac without middle bun in a covered container in the refrigerator promptly and eat it the next day. For a better texture when reheating, take off the lettuce and pickles first, then add them back after warming the burger.

The Big Mac without middle bun is a variation on McDonald’s classic burger, first developed in the United States. It keeps the familiar two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, onion and signature sauce, but leaves out the middle layer of the sesame-seed bun. The result is still a stacked burger, with less bread in each bite.
It is commonly eaten as a quick, filling meal, often with fries and a soft drink; a side salad makes a lighter pairing. Removing the middle bun lowers the carbohydrate and calorie content compared with a standard Big Mac, though the patties, cheese and sauce still make it substantial. The listed nutrition is 233 kcal per 100 g.
